Abstract
Future servers are expected to handle a large number of connections with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Networks, e.g., based on ATM technology, provide QoS via standardized traffic parameters. While the control at the network edge can handle these parameters, support for generating adequate traffic patterns (shaping) in the end-systems is limited due to hardware restrictions. This paper presents a software-based cell-level scheduler for ATM with advanced shaping mechanisms supporting priorities and fair sharing in overload situations. Furthermore, a scalable integration of the cell-level scheduling and the scheduling of DMA transfers is shown.
