Abstract
A scheduler for use in a computer network system which provides an order 1 level of complexity, while maintaining proportional fairness and a constant normalized worst-case fair index to create short term and long-term fairness among backlogged flows. The scheduler utilizes an intra-class scheduling algorithm to obtain the benefits of a round robin scheduler and an inter-class scheduling algorithm to obtain the benefits of timestamp based scheduler.
