APPARATUS FOR SELF-REGULATER (SR) LAST-IN, FIRST-OUT (LIFO) SCHEDULING IN SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS (SNDs) WITH HYBRID TRAFFIC

摘要

An apparatus, such as a network element, comprises a receiver to receive a plurality of packets from a plurality of traffic flows and a first non-transitory memory to form a first and second set of queues to store the plurality of packets from the plurality of traffic flows. One or more processors execute instructions stored in a second non-transitory memory to limit a rate of transfer of the plurality of packets that is output from the first set of queues to the second set of queues having a plurality of delays. A packet stored in the second set of queues is selected to be output based on a comparison of the plurality of delays.
