Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for scaling an input bandwidth for bandwidth allocation technology. An original bandwidth count value of an input flow is received. A bandwidth scaler constant is provided and used for scaling the received original bandwidth count value to provide a scaled bandwidth value between zero and one. The scaled bandwidth value is stored and used for calculating a transmit probability for the input flow.
Claims6
A method for implementing bandwidth allocation technology comprising the steps of:
- receiving an original bandwidth count value of an input flow:
- providing a bandwidth scaler constant;
- scaling said received original bandwidth using said bandwidth scaler constant to provide a scaled bandwidth value between zero and one;
- storing said scaled bandwidth value;
- applying said stored scaled bandwidth value to an arithmetic logic unit, and
- using said stored scaled bandwidth value in said arithmetic logic unit, calculating a transmit probability for said input flow.
