A scheduling device for use in a packet-switched network belonging to the , class of non-work , conserving or idling weighted round robin (WRR) arbiters assigns a new , connection N new, slots in a fixed-length repeating scheduling frame by selecting free slots which are close to idealized, slots that would if assigned, eliminate fitter or cell delay variation. The scheduler is able to, simultaneously determine if a new constant bit rate connection requiring a predetermined bandwidth, conforms to a leaky bucket or GCRA algorithm characterized by a peak packet or cell emission, interval T=1/PCR and a packet or cell delay variation time CDVT, i.e. whether the new connection, is GCRA (T …

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 12, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 12, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 12, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
