1. A method of post-switching multiplexing fast packets for differing traffic types, comprising the steps of:

  • A) receiving first traffic type fast packets from a plurality of first sources;

    B) prioritizing at least some of the first traffic type fast packets pursuant to a first prioritization method, to prioritize first traffic type fast packets for transmission;

    C) receiving second traffic type fast packets from a plurality of second sources, which second traffic type is different from the first traffic type;

    D) prioritizing at least some of the second traffic type fast packets pursuant to a second prioritization method, which second prioritization method is different from the first prioritization method, to prioritize second traffic type fast packets for transmission;

    E) multiplexing and transmitting the first and second traffic type fast packets, wherein the step of multiplexing the first and second traffic type fast packets includes the step of multiplexing the first and second traffic type fast packets pursuant to a weighted round robin bandwidth allocation protocol.
