A Novel Sliding Weighted Fair Queueing Scheme for Multimedia Transmission
Yun‐Sheng Yen, Weimin Chen, J.-C. Zhhuang, Han‐Chieh Chao · 2005
Weighted fair queueing (WFQ) is a popular scheme because of its guaranteed bandwidth and bounded delay. To make WFQ more flexible, we propose sliding weighted fair queueing (SWFQ) by combining priority-driven and share-driven scheduling for a real-time network. In our proposal, SWFQ can balance the share and priority-driven characteristics and can allow WFQ application to various network environments. This queueing algorithm can also be applied to either IPv4 or IPv6 networks as long as it can provide an adequate quality of service (QoS) support.
