Research on the Development of Programable Packet Scheduling

Abstract

The packet scheduling problem is a classical multidimensional decision problem that requires rational decisions on the inbound as well as the outbound timing of a huge number of packets. With the advent of programmable scheduling, the deployment of packet scheduling algorithms on switches is easier, and multiple scheduling algorithms can be implemented without changing the hardware architecture. The advent of programmable scheduling simplifies the testing and deployment of new scheduling algorithms and can make the application of packet scheduling algorithms much easier to implement.
