 | | For example, the highest level queue could be real time, then kernel processes, then interactive users, etc. Queue assignment is usually, but not always, static, meaning that processes are permanently assigned to a priority class. |
 | | One variation of feedback queue scheduling is: If a process blocks for I/O before its quantum expires, it reenters the queueing network at the highest level. |
 | | Feedback queues are very general; by changing the number of queues, the quantum size for each queue, the rules that govern movement of processes among queues, etc., the algorithm can be tailored to many situations. |
