Size-Based Scheduling to Improve the Performance of Short TCP Flows
Overview The Internet today carries different types of traffic that have different service requirements. A large fraction of the traffic is either Web traffic requiring low response time or peer-to-peer traffic requiring high throughput. Meeting both performance requirements in a network where routers use droptail or RED for buffer management and FIFO as service policy is an elusive goal. It is therefore worthwhile to investigate alternative scheduling and buffer management policies for bottleneck links. The paper proposes to use the least attained service (LAS) policy to improve the response time of Web traffic. Under LAS, the next packet to be served is the one belonging to the flow that has received the least amount of service.
