Summary:A method for distributing digital subscriber line (xDSL) data traffic includes receiving xDSL traffic at a DSLAM including a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output queues. Each input port includes a plurality of virtual circuits. Each of the plurality of virtual circuits are dynamically assigned to one of the plurality of output queues. The assignment of any particular virtual circuit to one of the plurality of output queues is independent of which of the plurality of input ports the particular virtual circuit is associated with. In accordance with the particular embodiment, the total number of virtual circuits is greater than a total number of output queues.
