A system for determining a worst case latency for a specific information flow that is part of a plurality of information flows and a worst case backlog for a specific queue that is part of a plurality of queues is disclosed. The plurality of information flows and plurality of queues are part of a configuration. The system performs operations including determining a maximum busy period length for the configuration. The operations include determining a set of candidate starting times for the configuration based on the maximum busy period length. The operations further include determining a maximum layout for a plurality of information flows within the configuration. The operations include updating the worst case latency and the worst case backlog based on the maximum layout. Finally, the operations include determining the worst case latency for the specific information flow and the worst case backlog for a specific queue.
