Scheduling Non-Uniform Traffic in a Packet Switching System

Flexible non-uniform traffic models are important for the analysis of integrated data networks carrying diverse classes of data. In this thesis, a new model of non-uniform traffic is introduced for a single-hop packet switching system. This traffic model allows arbitrary traffic streams subject only to a constraint on the number of data packets which can arrive at any individual source in the system or for any individual destination in the system over time periods of specified length. The maximum number of packets allowed and the length of time over which the maximum is enforced are parameters of the model. A system model is used which is general enough for broad application, from packet switches to passive optical star WDMA networks.
