With the guidance of network calculus, the Damper scheduling mechanism performs per-hop shaping by actively holding packets in the damper module per-hop and thereby eliminating the delay deterioration. The Damper mechanism requires neither time synchronization among network devices, nor per-flow status maintenance on core devices. It supports large-scale transmission distances and thus can be extended on large-scale IP networks. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2020-128
