1. A method of routing network packets in a networked device having plural network interfaces by applying combining traffic class and network interface throttling, the method comprising:

  • marking one or more network packets with a differentiated service code;

    throttling the bandwidth of at least one of the network packets based at least in part on a threshold for a designated network interface for the at least one packet, thereby producing first throttled packets;

    throttling the bandwidth of at least one of the first throttled packets based at least in part on a threshold for the packet'"'"'s respective differentiated service code, thereby producing second throttled network packets; and

    removing the differentiated service code from at least one of the second throttled network packets in a respective functional block queue and emitting network packets on the respective designated network interface for each of the second throttled network packets according to the throttled bandwidth.
