WRR scheduler configuration for optimized latency, buffer utilization

摘要

A method includes receiving network information for calculating weighted round-robin (WRR) weights, calculating WRR weights associated with queues based on the network information, and determining whether a highest common factor (HCF) exists in relation to the calculated WRR weights. The method further includes reducing the calculated WRR weights in accordance with the HCF, when it is determined that the HCF exists, and performing a WRR scheduling of packets, stored in the queues, based on the reduced WRR weights.

1. A method comprising:
identifying, by one or more processors, weighted round-robin (WRR) weights associated with a plurality of queues,
one or more of the plurality of queues storing respective data to be processed; determining, by the one or more processors, a plurality of integers that are a common factor of the WRR weights; estimating, by the one or more processors, respective errors associated with reducing the WRR weights by the plurality of integers; reducing, by the one or more processors, the WRR weights based on at least one integer of the plurality of integers,
the at least one integer being associated with one or more of the estimated respective errors that satisfy an error threshold; and processing, by the one or more processors, the respective data based on the reduced WRR weights.
