Abstract:A new type of control packet scheduling strategy,priority-based weight fair queuing(PWFQ),was propsed to provide differentiated services (Diffserv) for optical burst switched(OBS) networks.An equivalent analysis model was also presented to simplify the solving process of scheduling weight of each priority.We define a parameter,normalized deviatioin factor,to evaluate the validity of our analysis model as well as the fairness of scheduling strategy on supporting diffserv.Numerical results confirm that,it is feasible to analyze queue system,in which PWFQ scheduling strategy is adopted,with our equivalent model when the arrival rate is high.At the same time,it confirms that our scheduling strategy performs well on providing fair diffserv in terms of packet loss probability.
