1. A method comprising:
identifying a group of data flows that pass through an output port of a switch, the group of data flows including at least a first data flow and a second data flow;
for at least one individual input port of the first switch:
determining a first burst size value based on a first subset of data that is received at the at least one individual input port, that passes through the output port, and that is included in the group of data flows, and
determining a second burst size value based on a second subset of the data that is received at the at least one individual input port, that passes through the output port, and that is not included in the group of data flows; and
determining a burst size value of the group of data flows at the output port based on the first burst size value and the second burst size value determined for each input port of the switch.
