Integration of unicast and multicast scheduling in input-queued packet switches

Packet queuing and scheduling, two of the critical components in an input-queued packet switch, have been extensively studied in the context of either pure unicast traffic or pure multicast traffic. Unfortunately, the results from a study in one context are not applicable to the other context. The design of integrated scheduling for both types of traffic remains an open issue. This paper deals with the problem of integrating unicast and multicast scheduling in an N
