Weighted round robin (WRR) is a scheduling discipline. Each packet flow or connection has its own packet queue in a network interface card. It is the simplest approximation of generalized processor sharing (GPS). While GPS serves infinitesimal amounts of data from each nonempty queue, WRR serves a number of packets for each nonempty queue: .

Famous quotes containing the word robin:
