Analytical Model of a Weighted Round Robin Service System

Abstract

This paper presents a mathematical description of Weighted Round Robin service strategy, on which basis all the perspective QoS tools that serve to manage congestion in converged packet networks work. On the basis of the presented mathematical model, it is possible to suitably configure the operational parameters (maximum queue length, distribution of the available transfer capacity) of these tools according to required values of packet delays. The implementation of the analytical model is demonstrated on a real network segment using advanced network data traffic emulator.
