    The document analyzes the performance of three queuing techniques - FIFO, priority, and WFQ - using NetSim software. It describes setting up a network simulation with different applications and measuring the throughput achieved by each application under the different queuing disciplines. FIFO provides throughput proportional to generation rates. Priority allows higher priority applications to use all bandwidth. WFQ provides a balanced result between priority and FIFO.

    Analyze the performance of FIFO, Priority and WFQ

    Queuing Techniques

    AIM: To analyze the performance of FIFO, Priority and WFQ Queuing techniques.

    APPARATUS:
    NetSim Software Version 12.0.18

    THEORY:

    As part of the resource allocation mechanisms, each router must implement some
    queuing discipline that governs how packets are buffered while waiting to be
    transmitted. Various queuing disciplines can be used to control which packets get
    transmitted (based on bandwidth allocation) and which packets get dropped (based
    on buffer space). The queuing discipline also affects the latency experienced by a
    packet, by determining how long a packet waits to be transmitted. Examples of the
    common queuing disciplines are first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing, priority queuing
    (PQ), and weighted-fair queuing (WFQ).

    NetSim UI displays the configuration file corresponding to this experiment as shown
    below:

    PROCEDURE:

    Sample 1: (FIFO)
    The following set of procedures were done to generate this sample:

    Step 1: A network scenario is designed in NetSim GUI comprising of 4 Wired


    Nodes and 2 Routers in the “Internetworks” Network Library.

    Step 2: TCP Protocol is set to Disable in all the devices.

    Step 3: Wired Link Properties is set as follows:

    Link Properties Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link Link


    4 5
    Max Uplink Speed (Mbps) 10 10 10 5 5
    Max Downlink Speed 10 10 10 5 5
    (Mbps)
    Step 4: In the Interface WAN > Network Layer Properties of Router 1, Scheduling
    Type is set as FIFO. Similarly, Scheduling Type is set as FIFO for Router 2.

    Step 5: Three different applications are generated as per the table given below:
    NOTE: For Voice application set codec as Custom.
    Application Properties Application 1 Application 1 Application 1
    Applocation type Voice Video Custom
    (Codec-Custom)
    Source_Id 3 4 5
    Destination_Id 6 6 6
    QoS RTPS NRTPS BE
    Packet Size
    Distribution Constant Frame_Per_Sec Constant
    Value (bytes) 1460 50 1000
    Inter Arrival Time
    Distribution Constant Pixel_Per_Frame Constant
    Value (micro secs) 2336 100000 1333
    Step 6: Run the Simulation for 10 Seconds. Note down the Application Throughput.
    The following changes in settings are done from the previous sample:

    Sample 2: (Priority)
    Step 1: In the Interface WAN > Network Layer Properties of Router 1, Scheduling
    Type is set as PRIORITY. Similarly, Scheduling Type is set as PRIORITY for
    Router 2.

    Step 2: Run the Simulation for 10 Seconds. Note down the Application Throughput.

    Sample 3: (WFQ)
    Step 1: In the Interface WAN > Network Layer Properties of Router 1, Scheduling
    Type is set as WFQ. Similarly, Scheduling Type is set as WFQ for Router 2.

    Step 2: Run the Simulation for 10 Seconds. Note down the Application Throughput.

    Measurements and Outputs:

    Applicatio Traffic FIFO- Priority- WFQ-

    ~ (6/13.6)
    *5
    Total 13.6 4.76 4.79 4.76
    ~5 ~5 ~5

    NOTE: For Traffic Generation Rate calculation


    Traffic Generation Rate=(Packet size / Inter Arrival Time )*8

    *The traffic generation rate is based on settings done in step 5.

    The 5 mentioned above refers to 5 Mbps which is the data rate of link 4.

    Inference
    In FIFO, packets will get served based on their packet arrival time to router.
    Therefore, since link 4 is a 5 Mbps link, the throughputs of Voice, Video and Custom
    applications is equal to the ratio of their generation rates.
    Priority scheduling technique processes packets based on their priority. Hence voice
    and video which have higher priority take up the complete bandwidth available.
    Weighted fair queuing (WFQ) assigns a weight to each application and hence gives a
    result between that is in between priority and FIFO.
    RESULT:
