Luigi Rizzo and P.Valente's Analysis of fair queueing schedulers in Real Systems - published today!

[Dave Taht]

Luigi Rizzo and P. Valente just put out an in-depth analysis, with
formulations, and quantifications of the behavior of fair queueing
schedulers in the *real world*, where devices, drivers, and OSes have
their own buffering and quantums to deal with.

Please see:

Well worth tossing on your portable devices and reading over the
holiday weekend.

Luigi has much else of interest on his research pages, including
explorations of netmap (a natural successor to VJ's network channels
concept), QFQ, and power proportional routing:
