Comparison of queuing disciplines in networks with self-similar traffic

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we compare the queuing disciplines FIFO, Priority Queuing (PQ), Custom Queuing (CQ) and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), with self-similar and long-range dependent traffic, through experimental measurements with routers. We take into account two realtime video streaming traffics: one of high quality and other of low quality. We use SNMP MIBS supported by the routers and we select the objets for monitoring the queues in the routers. We apply the self-similar statistics of the traffics in the parameter configurations and comparisons of QoS are given. We measure the mean jitter, the maximum jitter and the packet loss in the receivers.
