In this paper, we propose a light-weight, fair scheduler for such ultra high-speed links, and an arbitrarily large number of requestors. We show that, in practice, our first algorithm, as well its predecessor, DRR, may result in bursty service even in the common case, where flow weights are approximately equal, and we identify applications where this can damage performance. Our second contribution is an enhancement that improves short-term fairness to deliver very smooth service when flow weights are approximately equal, whilst allocating bandwidth in a weighted fair manner.

Occupancy Sampling for Terabit CEE Switches

We focus on QCN and its effectiveness in identifying congestive flows in input-buffered CEE switches. QCN assumes an idealized, output-queued switch, however, as future switches scale to higher port counts and link speeds, purely output-queued or shared-memory architectures lead to excessive memory bandwidth requirements, moreover, PFC typically requires dedicated buffers per input. Our objective is to complement PFC's coarse per-port/priority granularity with QCN's per-flow control. By detecting buffer overload early, QCN can drastically reduce PFC's side effects. We install QCN congestion points (CPs) at input buffers with virtual output queues and demonstrate that arrival-based marking cannot correctly discriminate between culprits and victims. Our main contribution is occupancy sampling (QCN-OS), a novel, QCN-compatible marking scheme. We focus on random occupancy sampling, a practical method not requiring any per-flow state. For CPs with arbitrarily scheduled buffers, QCN-OSis shown to correctly identify congestive flows, improving buffer utilization, switch efficiency, and fairness.

In order to ensure flat mirror facets of the ridge-waveguide lasers, a flared-waveguide end section is employed. This results in a very slight mirror roughness of -20 nm across the beam cross section, and yields excellent beam properties allowing diffraction-limited focusing up to 50 mW output power.

In this paper, we propose TQ and TQ-Smooth, two light-weight, fair schedulers that accommodate an arbitrarily large number of requestors and are suitable for ultra high-speed links. We show that our first algorithm, TQ, as well its predecessor, DRR, may result in bursty service even in the common case where flow weights are approximately equal, and we find that this can damage the performance of buffer-credit allocation schemes. Our second algorithm, TQ-Smooth, improves short-term fairness to deliver very smooth service when flow weights are approximately equal, while allocating bandwidth in a weighted fair manner. In many practical situations, a scheduler is asked to allocate resources in fixed-size chunks (e.g. buffer units), whose size may exceed that of (small) network packets. In such cases, byte-level fairness will typically be compromised when small-packet flows compete with large-packet ones. We describe and evaluate a scheme that dynamically adjusts the service rates of request/grant buffer reservation to achieve byte-level fairness based on received packet sizes.
