Abstract

Based on the background of SUPANET, this paper present a novel fair scheduling algorithm, which we call Smoothed Fair Scheduling based on Timeslot Reservation (TRSFS). TRSFS decomposes the data scheduling process into two stages: 1) data-queues generate and sent out schedule-requests at fixed rate according to the reserved timeslots and 2) The arbiter serves schedule-requests in the FIFO manner. By exactly emulating the idealized fair scheduling, TRSFS realized the design purpose of distributing the output traffic evenly. We also prove theoretically that TRSFS is a Guarantee Rate scheduling algorithm with good scheduling constant. Through parallel and distributed technology, TRSFS can be implemented easily in high-speed networks to provide quality of service due to its simplicity and the feature of asynchronous operation.
