Abstract
In this paper, we investigate mean sojourn times in multiclass queues with feedback and their application to packet scheduling in communication networks. We first analyze the feedback queues with $J$ groups of customers and a single server. The server selects a group (station) in a priority order and admits its customers into the service facility according to one of the following rules: 1-limited, gated, or exhaustive. Since there are multiple classes of customers in each group, they are served in either the (local) priority order or the first-come-first-served order. We derive the mean sojourn times for all service stages of customers circulating the system. Then we consider their application to a packet scheduling problem in communication networks where a mission-critical traffic is given some preferential treatment over other normal traffic. Packets belonging to normal traffic are allocated the resource capacity in proportion to their assigned weights in a round-robin manner, which we call the discriminatory round robin (DRR). We construct some composite scheduling algorithms and compare their performance.
