Queuing mechanisms and scheduling policies play significant roles in guaranteeing performances of core routers and assured QoS (quality of service) for different traffic in today's Internet. Based on current buffered crossbar switching fabric, by employing system level design method and objective oriented technology, we design and implement a simulation platform for queuing mechanisms and scheduling policies' development. Inheritability and extensibility attributes are obtained by designing traffic sources, queuing mechanisms and management policies separately. Besides, it can carry out end to end performances' evaluation with little modification. Finally in this article, we present some simulation results for existing scheduling policies, displaying the good performances of our platform.
