Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The event scheduler (100; 200) and method (300) of the present invention solve the problem of mixing multiple service categories on the same physical link or media by utilizing a calendar queue scheduling method (i.e. based on prior actual transmission times of previous packets). The event-driven cell scheduler is, for example, used in an asynchronous transfer mode ATM network and may, for example, be embodied in software hardware and firmware.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 13, 1997 and granted October 29, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 13, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 13, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
