Zusammenfassung:A method and a network device for sharing bandwidth among a group of classes of traffic for an interface are provided. Bandwidth may be allocated to at least one traffic class of a first priority for the interface. At least some unused bandwidth of the at least one traffic class may be allocated to at least one other traffic class of a second priority for the interface. In some implementations, weighted constituents may be allocated unused interface bandwidth based on an assigned weight of each of the weighted constituents of the interface.
