METHOD FOR SCORING QUEUED FRAMES FOR SELECTIVE TRANSMISSION THROUGH A SWITCH
First Claim
1. A method of selectively transmitting frames through a device, the method comprising:
- determining a priority of each said frames wherein the priority is a function of an initial value dependent on content of each said frame and one or more adjustment values independent of content of each said frame; and
selecting the frame with the highest determined priority for transmission through the device prior to transmission of any other of the frames.

Abstract
A method includes determining a priority of each of a plurality of frames, wherein the priority is a function of an initial value dependent on content of each said frame and one or more adjustment values independent of content of each said frame, and selecting the frame with the highest determined priority for transmission through the device prior to transmission of any other of the frames. A system includes a receiving port configured to receive frames and assign an initial priority to each frame, a queue configured to insert queue entries associated with received frames on the queue, each queue entry being inserted at a queue position based on the initial priority assigned to the queue entry, the queue further configured to reorder queue entries based on readjusted priorities of the queue entries; and a transmitter switch configured to transmit the frame having the highest priority before transmitting any other frame.

11. A method for selectively transmitting a plurality of frames through a device, the method comprising:
-
determining a priority of each said frame, the priority being determined based on a combination of quality of service determined from content of each said frame and one or more other values determined independent of content of each said frame; and selecting a frame having the highest determined priority for transmission through the device before transmission of any other of the frames. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
