Description
This Generic Function belongs to Working Area Network. Function to optimise resources usage or traffic based on various scheduling policies. Examples of scheduling policies can be:
- First in first out
This principle states that customers are served one at a time and that the customer that has been waiting the longest is served first.
- Last in first out
This principle also serves customers one at a time, however the customer with the shortest waiting time will be served first. Also known as a stack.
- Processor sharing
Service capacity is shared equally between customers.[16]
- Priority
Customers with high priority are served first. Priority queues can be of two types, non-pre-emptive (where a job in service cannot be interrupted) and pre-emptive (where a job in service can be interrupted by a higher priority job). No work is lost in either model.
- Shortest job first
The next job to be served is the one with the smallest size
- Pre-emptive shortest job first
The next job to be served is the one with the original smallest size
- Shortest remaining processing time
The next job to serve is the one with the smallest remaining processing requirement.
