An efficient aggregation Scheduling Algorithm for unbalanced traffic distribution in optical packet switch network

We propose a novel Load Weighted Scheduling Algorithm (LWSA) to improve the packet aggregation performance for randomly-varied traffic patterns. Simulation results show that the LWSA provides higher utilization than the basic round-robin scheduling algorithm and retains the traffic pattern from IP network to OPS network quite well.
