1. A circuitry implemented method for selecting data for transmission in a network, the method comprising:

  • storing representations of data flows in storage structures S1, . . . SN, wherein N>

    1, wherein each data flow is associated with a bandwidth to be given to the data flow;

    transferring zero or more data flow representations from storage structures S1, . . . SN to a storage structure S0, wherein for each i (0<

    i<

    N), the frequency with which the zero or more data flow representations are transferred from structure Si to structure S0 is greater than the frequency with which zero or more data flow representations are transferred from structure S(i+1) to structure S0;

    selecting a data flow representation from structure S0 to transmit data on the corresponding data flow;

    transferring the selected data flow representation to a structure Sj (0≦

    j≦

    N) for subsequent transmission on the corresponding data flow, wherein the structure Sj is chosen from structures S0, . . . , SN based on the bandwidth to be given to the corresponding data flow.
