Max-min fairness
In communication networks, multiplexing and the division of scarce resources, max-min fairness is said to be achieved by an allocation if and only if the allocation is feasible and an attempt to incre
Interleaved polling with adaptive cycle time
Interleaved Polling with Adaptive Cycle Time (IPACT) is an algorithm designed by Glen Kramer, Biswanath Mukherjee and Gerry PesaventoAdvanced Technology Lab.at the University of California, Davis. IPA
Proportional-fair scheduling
Proportional-fair scheduling is a compromise-based scheduling algorithm. It is based upon maintaining a balance between two competing interests: Trying to maximize total throughput of the network (wir
Traffic shaping
Traffic shaping is a bandwidth management technique used on computer networks which delays some or all datagrams to bring them into compliance with a desired traffic profile. Traffic shaping is used t
Round-robin scheduling
Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing.As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) are assigned to each process in
Enhanced Transmission Selection
Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) is a network scheduler scheduling algorithm that has been defined by the Data Center Bridging Task Group of the IEEE 802.1 Working Group. It is a hierarchical sch
Hierarchical fair-service curve
The hierarchical fair-service curve (HFSC) is a network scheduling algorithm for a network scheduler proposed by Ion Stoica, Hui Zhang and T. S. Eugene from Carnegie Mellon University at SIGCOMM 1997
Credit-based fair queuing
Credit-based fair queuing is a computationally efficient alternative to fair queueing. Credit is accumulated to queues as they wait for service. Credit is spent by queues while they are being serviced
Maximum throughput scheduling
Maximum throughput scheduling is a procedure for scheduling data packets in a packet-switched best-effort network, typically a wireless network, in view to maximize the total throughput of the network
Statistical time-division multiplexing
Statistical multiplexing is a type of communication link sharing, very similar to dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA). In statistical multiplexing, a communication channel is divided into an arbitrary
Weighted fair queueing
Weighted fair queueing (WFQ) is a network scheduling algorithm. WFQ is both a packet-based implementation of the generalized processor sharing (GPS) policy, and a natural extension of fair queuing (FQ
CoDel
CoDel (Controlled Delay; pronounced "coddle") is an active queue management (AQM) algorithm in network routing, developed by Van Jacobson and Kathleen Nichols and published as RFC8289. It is designed
Weighted round robin
Weighted round robin (WRR) is a network scheduler for data flows, but also used to schedule processes. Weighted round robin is a generalisation of round-robin scheduling. It serves a set of queues or
Exponential backoff
Exponential backoff is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate of some process, in order to gradually find an acceptable rate. These algorithms find usage in a wide range
Generic cell rate algorithm
The generic cell rate algorithm (GCRA) is a leaky bucket-type scheduling algorithm for the network scheduler that is used in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. It is used to measure the timing
Network scheduler
A network scheduler, also called packet scheduler, queueing discipline (qdisc) or queueing algorithm, is an arbiter on a node in a packet switching communication network. It manages the sequence of ne
Deficit round robin
Deficit Round Robin (DRR), also Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR), is a scheduling algorithm for the network scheduler. DRR is, like weighted fair queuing (WFQ), a packet-based implementation of the
Fair queuing
Fair queuing is a family of scheduling algorithms used in some process and network schedulers. The algorithm is designed to achieve fairness when a limited resource is shared, for example to prevent f
Active queue management
In routers and switches, active queue management (AQM) is the policy of dropping packets inside a buffer associated with a network interface controller (NIC) before that buffer becomes full, often wit
Class-based queueing
Class-based queuing (CBQ) is a queuing discipline for the network scheduler that allows traffic to share bandwidth equally, after being grouped by classes. The classes can be based upon a variety of p
Delay-gradient congestion control
In computer networking, delay-gradient congestion control refers to a class of congestion control algorithms, which react to the differences in round-trip delay time (RTT), as opposed to classical con
