WRR works well when you apriori know the packet/cell sizes (eg in ATM). If you cant do this, then WRR is unfair once you start having a lot of flows going or you mistweak your weights etc. DRR fixes this. The improvements on computation comes in as a bonus _not_ as the advantage of DRR over WRR. Why dont you read the classical paper at: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm95/papers/shreedhar.html cheers, jamal
