Streaming algorithm for deficit round robin arbitration

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the simulation system to:
• specify a quantum size indicating how much of a link of a stream is available for use;
• add the quantum size to a deficit counter indicating available bandwidth;
• determine whether to provide a first data packet to an autonomous vehicle system based on the deficit counter and without determining a data packet size of the first data packet;
• and
• provide the first data packet to the autonomous vehicle system based on the determination of whether to provide the first data packet to the autonomous vehicle system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:

• instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the instructions, when executed by one more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• specify a quantum size indicating how much of a link of a stream is available for use;
• add the quantum size to a deficit counter indicating available bandwidth;
• determine whether to provide a first data packet to an autonomous vehicle system based on the deficit counter and without determining a data packet size of the first data packet;
• and
• provide the first data packet to the autonomous vehicle system based on the determination of whether to provide the first data packet to the autonomous vehicle system.
