Deficit Round Robin (DRR) is a scheduling algorithm which provides fair queuing at O(1) complexity. However, due to its round robin structure, its latency properties are not adequate for latency-critical applications, such as voice. For this reason, router manufacturers implement variants of the DRR algorithm which guarantee lower latencies to one (or a subset of) queue(s). Two such variants, both of which are known as Modified Deficit Round Robin, are currently implemented in CISCO and Juniper routers.

In this site, you will find Network Simulator 2 (ns-2) modules for simulating the two schedulers.

The description of each scheduler can be found here:

Modules and howto

The modules have been developed as queue objects for ns 2.26, compiled under Windows. They should work with other distributions as well, although they have not been tested.

The modules should be compiled with the distribution (they are meant to be put in a separate directory under the main code directory (e.g., ns226). Furthermore, the following lines should be added to the nsdefault.tcl file

   Queue/CMDRR set buckets_ 8
   Queue/CMDRR set complexity_ 0
   
   Queue/JMDRR set buckets_ 8
   Queue/JMDRR set complexity_ 0

Here is a zip file containing the modules and two sample scripts.
