Weighted round robin scheduling in input-queued packet switches subject to deadline constraints
Ankara : Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Institute of Engineering and Science of Bilkent Univ., 2000.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2000.Includes bibliographical references leaves 59-63In this thesis work, the problem of scheduling deadline constrained traffic is studied.
The problem is explored in terms of Weighted Round Robin (WRR) service
discipline in input queued packet switches. Application of the problem may arise
in packet switching networks and Satellite-Switched Time Division Multiple Access
(SS/TDMA) systems. A new formulation of the problem is presented. The
main contribution of the thesis is a ’’backward extraction” technique to schedule
packet forwarding through the switch fabric. A number of heuristic algorithms,
each based on backward extraction, are proposed, and their performances are
studied via simulation. Numerical results show that the algorithms perform
significantly better than earlier proposed algorithms. The experimental results
strongly assert Philp and Liu conjecture.Rai, Idris AM.S
A survey on the chronological evolution of timestamp schedulers in packet switching networks
The interest in solving the issue of congestion or flow control in network established from the first discovery and increase popularity of the Internet in 1967 or earlier. As the use of the network deployed and the popularity increase, the issue grows and the demand for an optimal or tentative solution becomes obvious. Since that time there has been an intensive effort from the scholars and researchers to solve the congestion control problem. The problem get worse by the engagement of novel traffic with
different characteristics for application called realtime
applications such as video and voice applications. Another cause of this demand is the user himself. The attempt in solving the congestion problem in network layer was popular in 90’s.This article will demonstrate chronologically how the attempts toward timestamp based scheduling in the
packet-switch network have been evolved.Furthermore, the benefit and the drawbacks of using a mechanism will be presented. Also, a brief explanation of the mathematical, conceptual or implementation issue of a mechanism is given. The key success of the scheduler in the market will be highlighted. This paper will stimulate the research
thinking to identify the importance and the ability
of scheduling in routers to enhance quality of service (QoS) for real time application over other solution in several layers. In addition it will assist the researcher to distinguish the key failure of other proposed mechanisms which have not been implemented in real routers
Resource Management in Multimedia Networked Systems
Error-free multimedia data processing and communication includes providing guaranteed services such as the colloquial telephone. A set of problems have to be solved and handled in the control-management level of the host and underlying network architectures. We discuss in this paper \u27resource management\u27 at the host and network level, and their cooperation to achieve global guaranteed transmission and presentation services, which means end-to-end guarantees. The emphasize is on \u27network resources\u27 (e.g., bandwidth, buffer space) and \u27host resources\u27 (e.g., CPU processing time) which need to be controlled in order to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements set by the users of the multimedia networked system. The control of the specified resources involves three actions: (1) properly allocate resources (end-to-end) during the multimedia call establishment, so that traffic can flow according to the QoS specification; (2) control resource allocation during the multimedia transmission; (3) adapt to changes when degradation of system components occurs. These actions imply the necessity of: (a) new services, such as admission services, at the hosts and intermediate network nodes; (b) new protocols for establishing connections which satisfy QoS requirements along the path from send to receiver(s), such as resource reservation protocol; (c) new control algorithms for delay, rate and error control; (d) new resource monitoring protocols for reporting system changes, such as resource administration protocol; (e) new adaptive schemes for dynamic resource allocation to respond to system changes; and (f) new architectures at the hosts and switches to accommodate the resource management entities. This article gives an overview of services, mechanisms and protocols for resource management as outlined above
A comparative survey of scheduling mechanisms in the internet
As the Internet is rapidly growing and its popularity increases, users tend to use creative, timeconservative,
entertained and economical technologies. Real-time
applications such as online gaming, voice and video applications are becoming more popular. Research effort to improve scheduling mechanisms in routers is currently given less attention by network researchers. This trend is far behind in industrial implementation and standards institutions. This paper attempts to compare the development in this subject from academic, standards and industry point of views. The results show that there is an enormous difference between academic research and standards and market domains in term of the evolution of scheduling mechanis

Efficient Q. S support for higt-performance interconnects
Las redes de interconexión son un componente clave en un gran número de sistemas. Los mecanismos de calidad de servicio (qos) son responsables de asegurar que se alcanza un cierto rendimiento en la red.
Las soluciones tradicionales para ofrecer qos en redes de interconexión de altas prestaciones normalmente se basan en arquitecturas complejas. El principal objetivo de esta tesis es investigar si podemos ofrecer mecanismos eficientes de qos. Nuestro propósito es alcanzar un soporte completo de qos con el mínimo de recursos. Para ello, se identifican redundancias en los mecanismos propuestos de qos y son eliminados sin afectar al rendimiento.
Esta tesis consta de tres partes. En la primera comenzamos con las propuestas tradicionales de qos a nivel de clase de tráfico. En la segunda parte, proponemos como adaptar los mecanismos de qos basados en deadlines para redes de interconexión de altas prestaciones. Por último, también investigamos la interacción de los mecanismos de qos con el control de congestión
