Abstract
While it is usually assumed that packet schedulers in routers have sufficie ntly fine-grain timers, network systems frequently have timers of coarse gr anularity. An investigation into QoS failures that occur due to coarse time r granularities is presented. Based on the investigation, two methods for s olving the problems are presented.
