Abstract

A novel implementation of a tag sorting circuit for a Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) enabled IP packet scheduler is presented. The design consists of a search tree, matching circuitry and a custom memory layout. The implementation uses 130nm silicon technology and supports Quality of Service on networks at line speeds of 40Gbps.
