Abstract
A network device including first and second queues, a determination module, a counter module, a comparison module and a blocking shaper. The determination module determines a size of the second frame. The counter module determines an amount of time remaining in a guard band and converts the amount of time to a size representative of the time remaining in the guard band. The guard band refers to a period of time leading up to a window. The first frame is scheduled to be forwarded from the first queue during the window. The comparison module compares the size of the second frame to the size representative of the time remaining in the guard band and generates a result based on the comparison. The blocking shaper, based on the result, determines whether to permit or block transmission of the second frame from the second queue during the guard band.
