A method of providing a rate guarantee to individual or groups of flows in a router through intelligent management of buffers. Rate guarantees are provided by intelligently allocating and isolating the buffers available to each flow. In its most basic form, the method applies to output queued network devices with a simple FIFO scheduler, where a number of streams some with rate reservations are sought to be multiplexed onto an outgoing link. The method involves strictly partitioning the buffer into portions strictly reserved for each flow in proportion to its link reservation. This ensures that each stream obtains the link reservation rate in a scalable manner. A particular embodiment of the invention allow for a portion of the buffer to be strictly partitioned while allowing streams full access to the remainder of the buffer. Other embodiments utilize the use of a link scheduler to divide bandwidth amongst a number of queues, while using buffer management to facilitate bandwidth amongst a number of flows in each queue.

A new routing protocol for routing service requests in a contact center is provided that takes into account the results of games played by the agents and the game actions of the agents. The system communicates the game to the agent. Agents in turn select game actions. The results of the agent games and the agent actions in these games help determine which agents handle the different types of service requests. The routing protocol takes account of those game results and actions while still routing calls in a systematic, coordinated and efficient manner. Additionally, by dynamically restructuring the game, management may communicate incentives dynamically to agents to incentivize agents to change their game actions in ways that lead to call routing following management priorities. Management may further influence routing by adjusting management preferences, which may be taken into account along with agent game results and game actions when routing calls. By incorporating agent game results and game actions in the routing scheme, agents are engaged and entertained, so that their work is less boring and monotonous. The agents are also given more control over their work, thus tending to increase job satisfaction and therefore agent retention and contact-center performance.
