A router for use in a network includes a scalable architecture and performs methods for implementing quality of service on a logical unit behind a network port; and for implementing storage virtualization. The architecture includes a managing processor, a supervising processor; and a plurality of routing processors coupled to a fabric. The managing processor has an in-band link to a routing processor. A routing processor receives a frame from the network, determines by parsing the frame, the protocol and logical unit number, and routes the frame to a queue according to a traffic class associated with the logical unit number in routing information prepared for the processors. An arbitration scheme empties the queue in accordance with a deficit round robin technique. If a routing processor detects the frame's destination is a viral entity, and so is part of a virtual transaction, the router conducts a nonvirtual transaction in concert with the virtual transaction. The nonvirtual transaction accomplishes the intent of the virtual transaction but operates on an actual network port, for example, a storage device.

Methods and units are shown for supporting a switching from a first coding scheme to a Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT) based coding scheme calculating a forward or inverse MDCT with a window (h(n)) of a first type for a respective coding frame, which satisfies constraints of perfect reconstruction. To avoid discontinuities during the switching, it is proposed that for a transient frame immediately after a switching, a sequence of windows (h0(n),h1(n),h2(n)) is provided for the forward and the inverse MDCTs. The windows of the window sequence are shorter than windows of the first type. The window sequence splits the spectrum of a respective first coding frame into nearly uncorrelated spectral components when used as basis for forward MDCTs, and the second half of the last window (h2(n)) of the sequence of windows is identical to the second half of a window of the first type.

Methods and apparatus for interleaved weighted fair data packet queue sequencing are disclosed. An interleaving table specifies a queue sequence. A queue sequencer follows the table order on an epoch-by-epoch basis, selecting a queue for each epoch based on the table order. If the selected queue does not have enough data to fill its epoch, the sequencer can step to the next queue in the table order. Because the table is interleaved, higher-priority queues can be visited frequently, improving jitter and latency for packets associated with these queues. The table structure allows all queues at least some portion of the available output bandwidth, and can be organized to afford some queues a much larger portion without having those queues monopolize the output stream for inordinate amounts of time.In some embodiments, each table entry has a programmable epoch value associated with it. The epoch value can be used to weight each table entry respective to the other entries.
