Abstract

: Earlier studies have observed that in moderately-loaded systems, using FCFS priority-based policy to schedule tasks results in the fewest packet loss. However, when the system is overloaded a FCFS priority based policy schedule performs worse than most other policies. This is due to FCFS priority-based gives the highest priority to one queue while ignoring the overloaded conditions. In this research, a new priority assignment algorithm is presented which features a feedback control mechanism that detects overload conditions and modifies packet priority assignments accordingly. Using a detailed simulation model, Object Oriented Dynamic Stochastic Discrete Event Simulation, we will compare the performance of the original FCFS priority based algorithm with respect to the Adaptive FCFS priority-based algorithm.
