Query: Interleaved Weighted Round-Robin: A Network Calculus Analysis   Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) is often used, due to its simplicity, for
scheduling packets or tasks. With WRR, a number of packets equal to the weight
allocated to a flow can be served consecutively, which leads to a bursty
service. Interleaved Weighted Round-Robin (IWRR) is a variant that mitigates
this effect. We are interested in finding bounds on worst-case delay obtained
with IWRR. To this end, we use a network calculus approach and find a strict
service curve for IWRR. The result is obtained using the pseudo-inverse of a
function. We show that the strict service curve is the best obtainable one, and
that delay bounds derived from it are tight (i.e., worst-case) for flows of
packets of constant size. Furthermore, the IWRR strict service curve dominates
the strict service curve for WRR that was previously published. We provide some
numerical examples to illustrate the reduction in worst-case delays caused by
IWRR compared to WRR.
