Description

Packet scheduling determines the order in which packets are transmitted when multiple flows compete for a network link. Schedulers directly affect key performance metrics including latency, jitter, packet loss, and throughput. While scheduling algorithms have been widely studied, fewer evaluations examine their behavior under mixed traffic workloads representative of real networks. This study uses the NS-3 network simulator to evaluate how different packet scheduling algorithms behave under congestion across several representative traffic profiles.
