Abstract: A new packet scheduling mechanism, which can provide bounded latency and jitter for Internet protocol (IP) network, is proposed. With the guidance of network calculus, the Damper scheduling mechanism performs per-hop shaping by actively holding packets in the damper module per-hop and thereby eliminating the delay deterioration. The Damper mechanism requires neither time synchronization among network devices, nor per-flow status maintenance on core devices. It supports large-scale transmission distances and thus can be extended on large-scale IP networks.

Key words: deterministic latency, deterministic jitter, network calculus, Damper
