Estimating the term…
A system comprising one or more network elements and configured to process at least first and second packet flows. The system comprises a first packet gate selectively switchable between an open state for packet transmission and a closed state and an associated first packet queue. The first packet gate and the first packet queue are configured to handle first packet flow packets. The system further comprises a second packet queue configured to handle second packet flow packets. Moreover, the system comprises at least one processor configured to control switching of the first packet gate between the open state and the closed state based on the occurrence of a first event associated with the second packet queue to trigger transmission of the first packet flow packets in a relative transmission order among the first packet flow packets and the second packet flow packets.
A system comprising one or more network elements and configured to process at least a first packet flow and a second packet flow, the system comprising:
8-10. (canceled)
16-23. (canceled)
A network controller configured to control processing of at least a first packet flow and a second packet flow by a system having a first packet gate, selectively switchable between an open state for packet transmission and a closed state for non-transmission, and an associated first packet queue, the first packet gate and the first packet queue configured to handle first packet flow packets, and a second packet queue configured to handle second packet flow packets, the network controller comprising:
30-32. (canceled)
A method of operating a system comprising one or more network elements and configured to process at least a first packet flow and a second packet flow, the system having a first packet gate, selectively switchable between an open state for packet transmission and a closed state for non-transmission, and an associated first packet queue, the first packet gate and the first packet queue configured to handle first packet flow packets, and a second packet queue configured to handle second packet flow packets, the method comprising:
