Implementation of Dynamic Queuing Scheduler for DiffServ Networks on Linux Platform

Wu, Wei-Cheng 10 July 2002 (has links)
Existing edge and core routers in DiffServ networks require an effective scheduling mechanism. In this thesis, we design and implement a DiffServ scheduler on Linux platform to provide QoS for different PHB requirements. We first modify the PDD model proposed by Dovrolis, and then develop two new scheduling algorithms. The first algorithm is referred to as Priority Queue with Quantum (PQWQ) and the second one is referred to as Average Delay Queue (ADQ). PQWQ can provide lower delay for EF traffic than Deficit Round Robin (DRR), and higher network utilization than Priority Queue (PQ) with EF Token Bucket. In addition, PQWQ can guarantee a minimum bandwidth for AF and Default PHBs and avoid starvation in case of low priority PHBs. The second scheduler, ADQ, is designed to provide different levels of delay for AF classes. The average delays of the four AF classes can be proportional by adjusting the Delay Differentiation Parameter (DDP). This proportional scheme may allow the higher priority class to send packets more quickly, and therefore achieve higher QoS. Finally, we implement the two schedulers, PQWQ and ADQ, on Linux platform. We adopt share buffer scheme for AF PHB. Share buffer management can effectively improve the buffer utilization and avoid the unnecessary packet dropping due to the unfair buffer allocation. From the experimental results, we can observe that the new DiffServ schedulers not only provide lower delay and higher bandwidth utilization for EF PHB, but also achieve proportional delay among different AF classes.

Errors In Delay Differentiation In Statistical Multiplexing

Mallesh, K 05 1900 (has links)
Different applications of communication networks have different requirements that depend on the type of application. We consider the problem of differentiating between delay-sensitive applications based on their average delay requirements, as may be of interest in signalling networks. We consider packets of different classes that are to be transmitted on the same link with different average delay requirements, to reside in separate queues with the arrival statistics for the queues being specified. This statistical multiplexer has to schedule packets from different queues in so that the average delays of the queues approach the specified target delays as quickly as possible. For simplicity, we initially consider a discrete-time model with two queues and a single work-conserving server, with independent Bernoulli packet arrivals and unit packet service times. With arrival rates specified, achieving mean queue lengths in a ratio which corresponds to the ratio of target mean delays is a means of achieving individual target mean delays. We formulate the problem in the framework of Markov decision theory. We study two scheduling policies called Queue Length Balancing and Delay Balancing respectively, and show through numerical computation that the expectation of magnitude of relative error in θ (1/m) and θ (1/√m) respectively, and that the expectation of the magnitude of relative error in weighted average delays decays as θ (1/√m) and θ (1/m) respectively, where m is the averaging interval length. We then consider the model for an arbitrary number of queues each with i.i.d. batch arrivals, and analyse the errors in the average delays of individual queues. We assume that the fifth moment of busy period is finite for this model. We show that the expectation of the absolute value of error in average queue length for at least one of the queues decays at least as slowly as θ (1/√m), and that the mean squared error in queue length for at least one of the queues decays at least as slowly as θ (1/m). We show that the expectation of the absolute value of error in approximating Little’s law for finite horizon is 0 (1/m). Hence, we show that the mean squared error in delay for at least one of the queues decays at least slowly as θ (1/m). We also show that if the variance of error in delay decays for each queue, then the expectation of the absolute value of error in delay for at least one of the queues decays at least as slowly as θ (1/√m).
