    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to methods for scheduling packets. According to example embodiments the method includes receiving, using a first layer in a communication protocol, a first request from a second layer in the communication protocol. The first request indicates to the first layer to output a data stream that includes a first location for the second layer to include a first control packet. The first layer is at a higher level of abstraction than the second layer. The method further includes transmitting, using the first layer, a first response to the second layer. The first response is based on the first request, and the first response identifies the first location in the data stream and a time of occurrence of the first location in the data stream.
