 * =s packet scheduling
 * pulls from round-robin inputs
 * =io
 * One output, zero or more inputs
 * =d
 * Each time a pull comes in the output, pulls from its inputs
 * in turn until one produces a packet. When the next pull
 * comes in, it starts from the input after the one that
 * last produced a packet. This amounts to a round robin
 * scheduler.
 *
 * The inputs usually come from Queues or other pull schedulers.
 * RoundRobinSched uses notification to avoid pulling from empty inputs.
