Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new scheduling algorithm that guarantees the delay property of real-time traffic, not considered in previous DWRR(Dynamic Weighted Round Robin) algorithm and also transmits non-real-time traffic efficiently. The proposed scheduling algorithm is a variation of DWRR algorithm to guarantee the delay property of real-time traffic by adding cell transmission method based on delay priority. It also uses the threshold to prevent the cell loss of non-real-time traffic due to cell transmission method based on delay priority. Proposed scheduling algorithm may increase some complexity over conventional DWRR scheme because of cell transmission method based on delay priority. However, the consideration of delay priority can minimize cell delay and require less size of temporary buffer. Also, the results of our performance study shows that the proposed scheduling algorithm has better performance than conventional DWRR scheme due to reliable ABR service and congestion avoidance capacity.

본 논문에서는 기존의 DWRR(Dynamic Weighted Round Robin) 알고리즘이 고려하지 못한 실시간 트래픽의 지연 특성을 보장하면서, 비실시간 트래픽도 효율적으로 전송할 수 있는 셀 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 이 스케쥴링 알고리즘은 기존의 DWRR 알고리즘을 개선한 것으로, 지연 우선 순위 기반의 셀 전송방식을 추가하여 실시간 트래픽의 지연 특성을 보장하면서, 그로 인한 비실시간 트래픽의 셀 손실을 막기 위해 비실시간 트래픽에 임계치를 설정한다. 제안한 스케쥴링 알고리즘은 지연 우선 순위 기반의 셀 전송방식이 추가되어 기존의 DWRR 알고리즘에 비하여 복잡도가 다소 증가될 수 있으나, 실시간 트래픽의 지연을 최소화하고 버퍼 크기를 감소시킬 수 있으며, CBR, VBR 트래픽 뿐만 아니라 대역폭에 유연성을 지니는 ABR 트래픽의 서비스를 효과적으로 지원한다.
