A QoS-aware scheduling algorithm for combined-input-crosspoint-queued switch

摘要

In this paper, we study the quality of service requirement and guaranteed-rate scheduling problem for combined-input-crosspoint-queued (CICQ) switches. Using crosspoint buffers between input queues and output ports, the input and output scheduling can be decoupled in CICQ switches. Here we propose a new guaranteed-rate scheduling algorithm which is divided seperately into input and output scheduling. Simulation results show that our algorithm can perform better than existing scheduling schemes in both packet loss and jitter control.
