Investigating Switch Scheduling Algorithms to Support QoS in the Multimedia Router

Switch Scheduling in the Multimedia Router (MMR)

The primary goal of the Multimedia Router (MMR) project is the design and implementation of a router optimized for multimedia applications. The router is targeted for use in cluster and LAN interconnection networks which offer different constraints and therefore differing router solutions than WANs. This paper describes and evaluates a switch scheduling algorithm based on a priority biasing sch...

Assessment of DSACC and QPART Algorithms in Ad Hoc Networks

The rapid advancement in wireless over wired has augmented the need for improving theQuality of Service (QoS) over such wireless links. However, the wireless ad hoc networkshave too low bandwidth, and establishing a QoS in these networks is a difficult issue. So,support of quality of service in ad hoc networks is the topical issue among the networkscience researchers. In this research we are go...

A New Hardware Efficient Link Scheduling Algorithm to Guarantee QoS on Clusters

Contemporary router/switch technology for high-performance local/system area networks (LANs/SANs) should provide the capacity to fit the high bandwidth and timing requirements demanded by current applications. The MultiMedia Router (MMR) aims at offering hardwarebased QoS support within a compact interconnection component. One of the key elements in the MMR architecture is the link scheduling a...

A Reservation Scheduler for Real-Time Operating Systems

The increasing demand for embedded multimedia applications makes evident the need for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. Particularly, operating systems, despite their location at end systems, switches or routers, must guarantee that resources under their control are adequately managed to fulfill the application requirements. This work proposes the implementation of QoS provision...
