CPU AND PRIORITY BASED EARLY DROP PACKET PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract:

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for CPU load and priority based early drop packet processing. A device can establish a priority level for each traffic class of a plurality of traffic classes. The device can receive a plurality of packets. The device can determine a processing level of one or more processors of the device prior to processing the plurality of packets. The device can select one or more packets of the plurality of packets to drop responsive to the priority level of one or more traffic classes associated with the one or more packets and the processing level of the one or more processors.
