Definition

F j

The micro-data stream through the switch

l j

The length of the micro-data stream F j

p(j)

The priority of the micro-data stream F j

G j  = ∪ {i : p(i) = p(j)}F i

The aggregated flow of the micro-data stream whose priority is the same with the priority of F j

G j H = ∪ i : p i > p j F i

The aggregated flow of the micro-data stream whose priority is bigger than the priority of F j

PG j  = ∪ {i : p(i) ≥ p(j)}F i

The aggregated flow of the flow aggregated G j and the aggregated flow G j H

l max j = max l i : p i < p j

The maximum length of the micro-data stream whose priority is lower than the priority of F j
