Using Mini Round Robin to Provide Quality of Service For Multimedia Networks

There is a broad spectrum of packet data networks emerging onto the networking scene. The emergence of broad spectrum networks has also seen a growing number of applications involving multimedia communications. This growth in multimedia applications is a driving force towards providing a better Quality of Service (QoS) to users. A major component in providing QoS is the packet scheduler. In this paper we use a frame based scheduling technique known as Mini Round Robin (MRR) to provide a better QoS for multimedia applications. To the authors knowledge, there has been no previous work addressing the QoS scheduling of Diffserv traffic and packet transmission delay.
