A multi-level feedback queue scheduling policy gives preference to short and I/O bound processes, it also rapidly establishes the nature of a process and schedules it accordingly. Multi-level feedback queues work on priorities. Processes are placed in separate queues based on their priority, this in turn is based on their CPU consumption and If a process uses too much of the CPU, it will be given a lower priority and therefore get less CPU time than fast and I/O bound processes. Any processes that do not complete in their allocated time slice / quantum are demoted to a queue of less priority, these lower priority queues generally have larger quantums / time slices. Each of the queues may use a different scheduling algorithm, this is done to make the overall scheduling method as efficient as possible. The features that may vary between different multi-level feedback queue scheduling methods are: - The number of queues - The scheduling algorithm assigned to each queue - The method used to promote/demote processes to different queues - The method that determines which queue a process enters --- Thomas Lee

Define multilevel queue scheduling?

Multi-level scheduling method for multiplexing packets in a communications networkA method and system for data traffic management in telecommunications networks is presented. End user data streams are aggregated to achieve more efficient use of a communication channel. Bandwidth is dynamically allocated to the data streams of the various users, effectively reducing their communications costs. The system includes a class of service selector and a plurality of stream selectors. Each stream selector is associated with a single budget category. Data is placed into queues according to a priority assigned by the end user. Data packets are transmitted from their queues through the class of service selector and through one of the stream selectors in response to the traffic provided by the end users and the budget category subscriptions of the end users.

State an advantage in having different time-quantum sizes for different levels of a multilevel queuing system?

Processes which need more frequent servicing, for instance interactive processes such as editors, can be in a queue with a small time quantum. Processes with no need for frequent servicing can be in a queue with a larger quantum, requiring fewer context switches to complete the processing, making more efficient use of the computer.
