title = "Evolutionary Programming in a Distributed Packet Scheduling Architecture",
abstract = "This paper presents a distributed scheduling architecture for a multi-service routing switch, based on evolutionary algorithms to solve a multi-objective optimization problem. The aim of the two-level scheduler is to ensure better quality of service for individual flows and achieve near 100% throughput with minimal delay at the switch level under uniform traffic conditions. It is shown that Evolutionary Algorithm provides an efficient scheduling mechanism, because the decision-making is dependent on the real traffic conditions. Simulation results show the performance of the distributed evolutionary scheduler is much better than the conventional fair queuing schemes and efficiently integrates flow and switch level scheduling. The scheduling scheme is simple to design and fairly inexpensive when implemented using FPGA technology.",
