Systems and methods for providing a weight-based scheduling system that incorporates end-user application awareness are provided and can be used with scheduling groups that contain data streams from heterogeneous applications. Individual data queues within a scheduling group can be created based on application class, specific application, individual data streams or some combination thereof. Application information and Application Factors (AF) are used to modify scheduler weights to differentiate between data streams assigned to a scheduling group. One embodiment adjusts the relative importance of different user applications using dynamic AF settings to maximize user Quality of Experience (QoE) in response to recurring network patterns, one-time events, or both. One embodiment maximizes user QoE for video applications by dynamically managing scheduling weights is provided that incorporates the notions of duration neglect and recency effect in an end-user's perception of video quality in order to optimally manage video traffic during periods of congestion.
