A dynamic queue allocation and de-allocation mechanism for managing traffic flowing through a switching node. If a packet matches conditions of a particular QoS policy rule, a determination is made as to whether a queue associated with the matched QoS policy rule exists on an egress port that is to forward the packet. If such a queue does not exist, a determination is made as to whether enough resources are available for dynamically creating the queue according to the QoS action parameters of the matched QoS policy rule. If the new queue may not be created because of resource limitation, queues of lower priority existing on the port are reclaimed and their resources reassigned to the new queue.

A multivariant, common basis classification method and apparatus for classifying protocol data units in a network switching device is disclosed. The method of classifying a protocol data unit (PDU) in the preferred embodiment includes the steps of generating a first string and a second string with which to characterize a PDU; mapping first and second strings into a first index and second index, respectively, where the first and second indices are selected from a plurality of indices; and selecting an instruction to apply to the PDU by matching the first and second indices. The plurality of strings are commonly generated from the source and destination address in the packet as well as other indicia with which to identify a traffic flow. The instructions specify how to classify, route, switch, or otherwise process the PDU.

A switching node configuring different traffic management protocols via a single centralized set of policies. The switching node includes a central policy repository, a central policy engine, and a central management engine. The central policy repository stores a single set of policies used to manage a plurality of different traffic management protocols in a consistent and predictable manner. The different traffic management protocols may include QoS, NAT, ACL, and the like. The central policy engine evaluates inbound traffic flows based on the policies in the central policy repository, and configures one or more traffic management protocol entities based on a selected policy. The management engine configures and manages the single set of policies via a common set of commands helping to eliminate the danger of creating conflicting policies that may lead to unpredictable results.
