Abstract

In the guaranteed service, a real-time scheduling algorithm must achieve both high level of network utilization and scalable implementation. Here, network utilization indicates the number of admitted real-time sessions. Unfortunately, existing scheduling algorithms either are lack of scalable implementation or can achieve low network utilization. For example, scheduling algorithms based on time-stamps have the problem of O(log N) scheduling complexity where N is the number of sessions. On the contrary, round-robin algorithms require O(1) complexity. but can achieve just a low level of network utilization. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm that can achieve high network utilization without losing scalability. The proposed algorithm is a Hierarchical Round-Robin (H-RR) algorithm that utilizes multiple rounds with different interval sizes. It provides latency bounds similar to those by Packet-by-Packet Generalized Processor Sharing (PGPS) algorithm using a sorted-Priority queue. However, H-RR requires a constant time for implementation.

보장서비스에서 실시간 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘은 높은 네트워크 유용도와 확장성있는 구현의 양쪽 모두를 성취해야만 한다. 여기서 네트워크 유용도는 승인하는 실시간 세션의 수를 나타낸다. 불행히도, 현존하는 스케줄링 알고리즘은 확장성있는 구현에 문제점을 갖거나 성취할 수 있는 네트워크 유용도가 낮다. 가령 타임스템프에 기반한 알고리즘은 N이 세션의 수를 나타낼 때 O(log N) 스케줄링 복잡도를 가진다. 반면 라운드-로빈 알고리즘은 O(1) 복잡도를 가지지만 성취할 수 있는 네트워크 유용도가 낮다. 이 논문은 확장성을 잃지 않으면서도 높은 네트워크 유용도를 성취할 수 있는 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 서로 다른 시간 구간 크기에 대해서 다중 라운드를 활용하는 계층적 라운드-로빈 (H-RR) 알고리즘이다. 이 알고리즘은 우선 순위 큐를 사용하는 PGPS 알고리즘이 제공하는 것과 비슷한 지연의 한계를 제공하지만, 구현 복잡도가 상수라는 큰 장점을 갖는다.
