Enhanced Core Stateless Fair Queuing with Multiple Queue Priority Scheduler
The International Arab Journal of Information Technology, Vol. 11, No. 2, March 2014 159 Enhanced Core Stateless Fair Queuing with Multiple Queue Priority Scheduler Nandhini Sivasubramaniam 1 and Palaniammal Senniappan 2 1Department of Computer Science, Garden City College of Science and Management Studies, India 2Department of Science and Humanities, VLB Janakiammal College of Engineering and Technology, India Abstract: The Core Stateless Fair Queuing (CSFQ) is a distributed approach of Fair Queuing (FQ). The limitations include its inability to estimate fairness during large traffic flows, which are short and bursty (VoIP or video), and also it utilizes the single FIFO queue at the core router. For improving the fairness and efficiency, we propose an Enhanced Core Stateless Fair Queuing (ECSFQ) with multiple queue priority scheduler. Initially priority scheduler is applied to the flows entering the ingress edge router. If it is real time flow i.e., VoIP or video flow, then the packets are given higher priority else lower priority. In core router, for higher priority flows the Multiple Queue Fair Queuing (MQFQ) is applied that allows a flow to utilize multiple queues to transmit the packets. In case of lower priority, the normal max-min fairness criterion of CSFQ is applied to perform probabilistic packet dropping. By simulation results, we show that this technique improves the throughput of real time flows by reducing the packet loss and delay. Keywords: CSFQ, quality of service, MQFQ, priority scheduler.

Scheduling for Fairness: Fair Queueing and CSFQ
Copyright Hari Balakrishnan, 1998-2005, all rights reserved. Please do not redistribute without permission. LECTURE 8 Scheduling for Fairness: Fair Queueing and CSFQ ! 8.1 Introduction nthe last lecture, we discussed two ways in which routers can help in congestion control: Iby signaling congestion, using either packet drops or marks (e.g., ECN), and by cleverly managing its buffers (e.g., using an active queue management scheme like RED). Today, we turn to the third way in which routers can assist in congestion control: scheduling. Specifically, we will first study a particular form of scheduling, called fair queueing (FQ) that achieves (weighted) fair allocation of bandwidth between flows (or between whatever traffic aggregates one chooses to distinguish between.1 While FQ achieves weighted-fair bandwidth allocations, it requires per-flow queueing and per-flow state in each router in the network. This is often prohibitively expensive. We will also study another scheme, called core-stateless fair queueing (CSFQ), which displays an interesting design where “edge” routers maintain per-flow state whereas “core” routers do not. They use their own non- per-flow state complimented with some information reaching them in packet headers (placed by the edge routers) to implement fair allocations. Strictly speaking, CSFQ is not a scheduling mechanism, but a way to achieve fair bandwidth allocation using differential packet dropping. But because it attempts to emulate fair queueing, it’s best to discuss the scheme in conjuction with fair queueing. The notes for this lecture are based on two papers: 1. A. Demers, S. Keshav, and S. Shenker, “Analysis and Simulation of a Fair Queueing Algorithm”, Internetworking: Research and Experience, Vol. -

Simulating Strict Priority Queueing, Weighted Round Robin, And
International Journal on Advances in Networks and Services, vol 10 no 1 & 2, year 2017, http://www.iariajournals.org/networks_and_services/ 1 Simulating Strict Priority Queueing, Weighted Round Robin, and Weighted Fair Queueing with NS-3 Robert Chang and Vahab Pournaghshband Advanced Network and Security Research Laboratory Computer Science Department California State University, Northridge Northridge, California, USA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—Strict priority queueing, weighted fair queueing, and weighted round robin are amongst the most popular differen- tiated service queueing disciplines widely used in practice to ensure quality of service for specific types of traffic. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of these three methods in Network Simulator 3 (ns-3). ns-3 is a discrete event network simulator designed to simulate the behavior of computer networks and internet systems. Utilizing our implementations will provide users with the opportunity to research new solutions to existing problems that were previously not available to solve with the existing tools. We believe the ease of configuration and use of our modules will make them attractive tools for further research. By comparing the behavior of our modules with expected outcomes derived from the theoretical behavior of each queueing algorithm, we were able to verify the correctness of Figure 1. ns-3’s simulation network architecture [3] our implementation in an extensive set of experiments. These format. ns-3 has an object oriented design, which facilitates implementations can be used by the research community to investigate new properties and applications of differentiated rapid coding and extension. It also includes automatic memory service queueing.
