An approach for measuring scheduler efficiency is disclosed. A schedule r (603) has metrics measurement capability, in which scheduler counters (803, 805, 807, and 809) correspond to scheduling events. A counter logic (801) selectively increments the scheduler counters (803, 805, 807, and 809). The counter logi c (801) is coupled to queues (607) that store cells. The performance metrics are computed based upon values of the counters (803, 805, 807, and 809). The scheduler (603), according to one embodiment of the present invention, is deployed in a satellite communication system. |
