System and method for achieving network traffic fairness

A method, comprising:

• receiving a first data packet associated with a first quality-of-service (QoS) factor to be transmitted to an endpoint device;
• identifying a first bonding group for transmitting the first data packet, wherein the first bonding group comprises a plurality of channels comprising a plurality of dominant channels and a plurality of remaining channels, and wherein each of the plurality of channels is associated with one or more respective queues;
• determining a plurality of queue occupancies for a plurality of queues associated with the plurality of channels, respectively, wherein the plurality of queues correspond to the first QoS factor;
• accessing a weight table comprising a plurality of weights associated with the plurality respective channels corresponding to a plurality of QoS factors;
• retrieving, from the weight table based on the first QoS factor, a plurality of weights corresponding to the first QoS factor that are associated with the plurality of channels, respectively;
• generating a plurality of adjusted queue occupancies based on the plurality of queue occupancies and the plurality of weights corresponding the first QoS factor;
• determining, based on the adjusted queue occupancies, a utilization level of each of the plurality of dominant channels;
• selecting, based on the plurality of adjusted queue occupancies, a first queue associated with a first channel from the plurality of queues associated with the plurality of respective channels, wherein a first weight of the plurality of weights that is associated with the first channel of the plurality of channels corresponding to the first QoS factor of the plurality of QoS factors is based on a saturation threshold associated with the plurality of dominant channels, a rate factor associate with the first channel, and the first QoS factor, wherein the first channel is identified from one or more dominant channels when the utilization level of each of the one or more dominant channels is under a threshold level, and wherein the first channel is identified from the plurality of dominant and remaining channels when the utilization level of each of the plurality of dominant channels reaches the threshold level;
• and
• scheduling the first data packet for transmitting to the endpoint device via the first queue.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor, to:

• receive a first data packet associated with a first quality-of-service (QoS) factor to be transmitted to an endpoint device;
• identify a first bonding group for transmitting the first data packet, wherein the first bonding group comprises a plurality of channels comprising a plurality of dominant channels and a plurality of remaining channels, and wherein each of the plurality of channels is associated with one or more respective queues;
• determine a plurality of queue occupancies for a plurality of queues associated with the plurality of channels, respectively, wherein the plurality of queues correspond to the first QoS factor;
• access a weight table comprising a plurality of weights associated with the plurality respective channels corresponding to a plurality of QoS factors;
• retrieve, from the weight table based on the first QoS factor, a plurality of weights corresponding to the first QoS factor that are associated with the plurality of channels, respectively;
• generate a plurality of adjusted queue occupancies based on the plurality of queue occupancies and the plurality of weights corresponding the first QoS factor;
• determine, based on the adjusted queue occupancies, a utilization level of each of the plurality of dominant channels;
• select, based on the plurality of adjusted queue occupancies, a first queue associated with a first channel from the plurality of queues associated with the plurality of respective channels, wherein a first weight of the plurality of weights that is associated with the first channel of the plurality of channels corresponding to the first QoS factor of the plurality of QoS factors is based on a saturation threshold associated with the plurality of dominant channels, a rate factor associate with the first channel, and the first QoS factor, wherein the first channel is identified from one or more dominant channels when the utilization level of each of the one or more dominant channels is under a threshold level, and wherein the first channel is identified from the plurality of dominant and remaining channels when the utilization level of each of the plurality of dominant channels reaches the threshold level;
• and
• schedule the first data packet for transmitting to the endpoint device via the first queue.
