While it is usually assumed that packet schedulers in routers have sufficiently fine-grain
timers, network systems frequently have timers of coarse granularity. Therefore application …

Owing to the Internet's rapid expansion and fast advancing PC technology, there are many
PC-based network systems now. For increasingly many applications running over the …

Many queue service disciplines for guaranteeing QoS of application services have been
researched. While almost always it was assumed that the packet scheduler has an infinitely …

While it is usually assumed that packet schedulers in routers have sufficiently fine-grain
timers, network systems frequently have timers of coarse granularity. An investigation into …

Implementing a packet scheduling mechanism in next generation routers has become a
central issue for providing networking-level QoS guarantees to a large number of sessions …

Many packet schedulers for QoS networks are equipped with a rate control mechanism. The
function of a rate control mechanism (rate controller) is to buffer packets from flows which …

Between the two broad categories of packet scheduling algorithms, round robin and time
stamp based schemes, the former is usually not considered a proper candidate for providing …

Providing quality of service (QoS) to applications with different traffic characteristics based
on their needs is an important research area for today's and tomorrow's high speed …

In recent years, an explosive growth of network applications can be obviously observed.
This results in different traffic patterns which need different QoS requirements. For …

How to provide a broad range of QoS guarantees in a packet network is an important issue.
In order to achieve QoS guarantees, good traffic schedulers are indispensable. In this paper …
