Abstract

High-speed packet switched networks are expected to simultaneously support diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements over a single physical infrastructure. To guarantee QoS, scheduling algorithms at routers play a critical role in controlling the interactions among different traffic streams and different service classes. By carefully scheduling packets from different flows, each flow receives a fair share of the link bandwidth. This paper explores the QoS control in an existing gigabit network that is connected by the Washington University Gigabit Router (WUGR). The packet scheduling algorithm and network performance evaluation software are designed on NetBSD platform. A series of experiments are performed using this software. By implementing the proposed packet scheduling algorithms on WUGR, the QoS of different traffic classes can be achieved.
