On Maximum Rate Control of Weighted Fair Scheduling Jeng Farn Lee
Outline • Introduction • Related Work • WF2Q with maximum rate control • Simulations • Conclusions
Introduction • Current service disciplines provided minimum performance guarantees, but not maximum rate constraint • Max-Rate Control is needed • Control lease line’s maximum services rate • Restrict specific applications’ total traffics to enforce some management policies
Introduction (cont’d) • Ban over-provisioning in a link-sharing environment (e.g. WF2Q) • Stabilize the throughput to smooth media streaming in order not to overflow receiving buffers or cause packet drop
GPS • GPS (Generalized Processor Sharing) • A fluid system • traffic is infinitely divisible • all the traffic streams can receive service simultaneously • Each session i is assigned a fixed real-valued positive parameter
GPS (cont’d) session is idle after time 10
Virtual Clock • Implementation of PGPS • Virtual clock is a clock to keep a normalized time as a standard reference for all sessions/packets.
Two-Stage Rate-Control Service Model (cont’d) • Drawbacks • When move packets from regulator queue to eligible queue • Timer • the system must use one interrupt to change the status per packet • Time-framing (system accuracy v.s. time granularity) • Event-Driven (high uncertainty) • It still needs to modify the scheduling algorithm to distribute the excess bandwidth to other sessions
Policer-Based Rate-Control Service Model (cont’d) • Drawbacks • Token bucket • Token buffer allows traffic exceed the maximum rate • Leaky bucket • Not allow traffic burst
Simulation environment • ns2 • Version : ns-allinone2.1b6 • WFQ patch 1.1a1 • We implement of policer-based rate-control service model and WF2Q-M • topology
Traffic pattern • UDP Exponential ON/OFF traffic • The packet size of ON period : exponential distribution with mean (1000, 950 and 900 bytes) • The maximum rate of the session is 4Mbps
Token bucket with r = 4Mbps, B=0.25Mb Loss rate : 0.211% Over max rate rate : 12.96%
Leaky bucket r=4Mbps Loss rate : 58.89%
Wf2q-m buffer size 0.25Mb Loss rate : 0.219%
GPS-M • An extension of GPS • A session can be “normal” session or “maximum rate constrained” session. If a maximum rate constrained has shared bandwidth greater than the maximum rate, • It receives the maximum rate; • GPS-M distributes the excess bandwidth to others weightily • WF2Q-M use the same link sharing principle as GPS-M
GPS and GPS-M GPS 5 GPS-M 2.5 4 5 1.25 2.5 3 2.5 3 1.25 GPS-M Resource Allocation ex. 10 packets per second, reserved bandwidth 5:2.5:1.25:1.25 Max Rate=4
Features of WF2Q-M • Merge packet eligible time into virtual starting time • Only the packets have started receiving service in GPS-M can be selected for transmission • Adjust the ticking rate of the system virtual clock to distribute the excess bandwidth from saturated queues to other sessions • Use the same real clock/virtual clock ratio to transfer real clock for packets of saturated queues to virtual clock
Virtual Clock Adjustment ratio(t)=
Marge eligible time into virtual starting time The virtual starting and finishing times of packets of Bp(p)
Simulations ns2 • Version : ns-allinone2.1b6 • WFQ patch 1.1a1 • WF2Q and WF2Q-M • topology
Simulations (cont’d) • Data sending rate : 5Mbps • Packet size : Uniform(100,1500) bytes • Data type : UDP • Maximum rate of session 3 is 3Mbps
Simulation Result (WF2Q-M) Maximum rate is 3Mbps
Conclusions • we propose a new service discipline WF2Q-M • guarantee minimum service rates as WF2Q • provide maximum service rate constraint • merge packet eligible time into its virtual starting time to reduce complexity • virtual clock adjustment allows the sharing of excess bandwidthto non saturated sessions • WF2Q-M performance is bounded by a fluid reference mode
