Abstract

Given the diversity of user applications and the ever-growing bandwidth demands, high performance switches which focus on the transfer of data units between different line interfaces must improve their ability to provide the quality-of-service (QoS). In modern switches, the most important components to guarantee different types of QoS are the queuing and scheduling strategies. In this paper, based on the crossbar fabric, we propose a simple novel cell scheduling algorithm named ReqGrant algorithm which can provide different QoS to various priority traffic. Through extensive simulations we show that, in the case of cell-based switches, this priority scheduling mechanism can achieve better performance than the noted prioritized iSLIP algorithm.
