A function at the network protocol level that allocates bandwidth to competing online connections. Residing in the transmitting machine, it determines how many packets are handed to each connection (each flow) at a given time. A packet scheduler makes its determinations by observing the packet flows from the applications or by request from a quality of service (QoS) protocol such as RSVP or Diffserv. See QoS.

- Dynamic Input Buffer Allocation (DIBA) for Fault Tolerant Ethernet Packet Switching
- This paper describes a new fault-tolerant architecture to realize an Ethernet layer-2 switch. This architecture includes a memory buffer scheduler to assign memory buffers dynamically to the input ports of the switch. To evaluate this architecture and produce throughput and latency projections, the paper has developed a switch simulator called...

- Design and Performance of FDL Buffers in Optical Switches
- A key technique for reducing packet blocking in optical switches is by temporarily buffering packets in Fiber Delay Lines FDLs. The packet blocking probability depends on the FDLs design as well as on how packets are scheduled to the FDL buffers. This study compares between the blocking probabilities of the...
