| Abstract | Middleboxes are widely deployed in today's networks. They apply a variety of complex network functions to transform, filter, and optimize incoming traffic based on the payload of packets. These functions require the support of multiple types of resources, such as CPU and link bandwidth, for processing incoming packets. Hence, a multi-resource packet scheduling algorithm is needed to allow flows to share these resources fairly and efficiently. However, unlike traditional fair queueing where bandwidth is the only concern, we show in this paper that fairness and efficiency are conflicting objectives that cannot be achieved simultaneously in the presence of multiple resources. Ideally, a scheduling algorithm should allow network operators to flexibly specify their fairness and efficiency requirements, so as to meet the Quality of Service demands while keeping the system at a high utilization level. Yet, existing multi-resource scheduling algorithms focus on fairness only, and may lead to poor resource utilization. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling algorithm to achieve a flexible tradeoff between fairness and efficiency for packet processing, consuming both CPU and link bandwidth. Experimental results based on both real-world implementation and trace-driven simulation suggest that trading off a modest level of fairness can potentially improve the efficiency to the point where the system capacity is almost saturated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
