3 * IPVS: Never Queue scheduling module
5 * Authors: Wensong Zhang <wensong@linuxvirtualserver.org>
11 * The NQ algorithm adopts a two-speed model. When there is an idle server
12 * available, the job will be sent to the idle server, instead of waiting
13 * for a fast one. When there is no idle server available, the job will be
14 * sent to the server that minimize its expected delay (The Shortest
15 * Expected Delay scheduling algorithm).
17 * See the following paper for more information:
18 * A. Weinrib and S. Shenker, Greed is not enough: Adaptive load sharing
19 * in large heterogeneous systems. In Proceedings IEEE INFOCOM'88,
20 * pages 986-994, 1988.
22 * Thanks must go to Marko Buuri <marko@buuri.name> for talking NQ to me.
24 * The difference between NQ and SED is that NQ can improve overall
