Abstract :
We propose a novel policy called proportional sharing with load reservation (PSLR) for scheduling upstream flows in Ethernet passive optical networks. This policy provides bandwidth guarantees on a per flow basis and redistributes the unused bandwidth among active flows in proportion to their priority level.
