Abstract:   Time-driven priority is an innovative packet scheduling algorithm that enables the provision of services with guaranteed, deterministic quality, while maximizing efficiency in network resource utilization. This talk explains the basic principles underlying this technology and describes its most relevant features. Time-driven priority is shown to be optimal for the transmission of real-time and streaming traffic and to avoid congestion at the bottleneck between high speed backbone and lower speed access (e.g., xDSL and wireless). Various deployment scenarios are presented in the talk. Finally, issues specifically related to the implementation of an IP router deploying the algorithm are tackled.
