Methods for controlling the processing of data packets in a router, to control the processing of data in a router.To control the use of memory in a router data package, and to control the processing of data in a system.Methods and system architectures are disclosed for controlling the processing of data packets in one or more routers.Each router stores the packet data received in one or more rows of data entry.In a first aspect of the disclosure, packages maintained in a queue of data entry are processed by the router in a packet stream is adjusted dynamically.The line of data entry has a structure of head of line data which includes a field of packets to be processed.The field of packets to be processed has a value that indicates a selected number of packets to be processed from the row of data entry in a given interval of processing.In this way, the flow of packets from the queue of data entry is adjusted by varying the value of the field of packets to be processed based on the current operational conditions (for example,Current use of processor or memory) of the router.
