Abstract

In this paper we present the concept of evolution programming, applied to the area of scheduling in a multiservice routing switch. Evolution programming provides an efficient scheduling mechanism to achieve better quality of service (QoS) parameters. As compared to other scheduling policies, evolution scheduling is more adaptable to the environment and hence provides fair scheduling. Evolutionary scheduling is based on a natural selection policy, which proposes adaptive radiation to the environment and is consistent with the model of a multiservice router switch. Each cell on a virtual circuit (VC) or flow has the capability to better its chance of selection by using the natural selection policy. Hence the QoS parameters like bandwidth and end-to-end delay would dramatically improve by use of a fitness function. Thus the evolutionary scheduler proposes a dynamic policy for scheduling cells among virtual circuits. The benefits of gaining better QoS by using evolutionary scheduling in multi-service routing switch is discussed in the paper.
