Weighted fair queuing emerges as an elegant and effective solution to the problem of integrating real time services with strict delay constraints and high-speed data services for which significant delays cannot always be avoided. Virtual spacing is a weighted fair queuing scheduling algorithm intended to be applied in the context of the ATM based BISDN. After discussing how virtual spacing allows flexible traffic control for a variety of service types, we discuss the issue of its implementation in switching nodes. The aim of the paper is to highlight the advantages of weighted fair queuing in enabling a truly integrated services network and to propose a technologically feasible implementation.
