Abstract
Integrated Services Packet Networks (ISPN) are designed to integrate the network service requirements of a wide variety of computer-based applications. Some of these services are delivered primarily through the packet scheduling algorithms used in the network switches. This paper addresses two questions related to these scheduling algorithms. The first question is: what scheduling services should an ISPN offer? In answer, we propose a scheduling service model for ISPN's which is based on our projections about future application and institutional service requirements. Our service model includes both a delay-related component designed to meet the ergonomic requirements of individual applications, and also a hierarchical link-sharing component designed to meet the economic needs of resource sharing between different entities. The second question we address is: what implications does this service model have for the packet scheduling algorithms? We answer this question by construc...
