| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention provides a method and apparatus for scheduling message processing. The present invention provides a scheduling mechanism, or scheduler (
602
), that receives messages (
608
) and stores the messages (
610
or
614
) in a first queue (
604
) or a second queue (
606
) based, in part, on various criteria associated with the messages. The criteria include message attributes, such as message priority, virtual private network ("VPN") classification and destination software function. The first queue (
604
) can be a first-in-first-out queue, and the second queue (
606
) can be a multi-dimensional queue. The scheduler (
602
) then schedules the queued messages (
612
or
616
) for processing based, in part, on various operating criteria (
618
), such as historical operating data, current operating data and anti-starvation criteria. In addition, the scheduler (
602
) can be programmed to function in a variety of operating modes. |
