Queue scheduling

In general, congestion management uses queuing technology. The system uses a certain queuing algorithm for traffic classification, and then uses a certain precedence algorithm to send the traffic. Each queuing algorithm handles a particular network traffic problem and has significant impacts on bandwidth resource assignment, delay, and jitter.

In this section, two common hardware queue scheduling algorithms Strict Priority (SP) queuing and Weighted Round Robin (WRR) queuing are introduced.

SP queuing

SP queuing is designed for mission-critical applications, which require preferential service to reduce response delay when congestion occurs.
