Abstract: A scheduling device for managing a packet queue of a communication gateway includes a receiving portion configured to receive data packets according to at least one communication protocol, a processor, and classification module configured to separate the received data packets into a first traffic queue and a second traffic queue separate from the first traffic queue. The first traffic queue includes a low latency service flow classified to have strict priority. The second traffic queue includes a primary service flow classified as having a classic priority. The classification module separates the received data packets so that those with a first indicator are sent to the first traffic queue and those without the first indicator are sent to the second traffic queue.
