With the intention of outlining some of the theoretical studies on the design of packet
communication networks the present paper introduces the models and the basic relations …

The main purpose of routing and flow control in a communication network is, roughly
speaking, to keep delay per message (ie travel time from origin to destination) within an …

In the design of a communication network one may consider, among others, response time,
cost, throughout, reliability, availability as performance parameters. Satellite communication …

An analysis of several routing issues that have an impact on the topological design of
nonhierarchical packet networks is presented. Routing constraints that arise due to the limits …

A model is presented for analyzing the performance of routing strategies in a packet radio
network where each station has an adjustable transmission radius. Previous research has …

A multihop packet radio network is considered with a single traffic class and given end-to-
end transmission requirements. A transmission schedule specifies at each time instant the …

Two problems relevant to the design of a store‐and‐forward communication network (the
message routing problem and the channel capacity assignment problem) are formulated …

A packet network is viewed as consisting of two major interacting layers: a lower layer
responsible for the determination of a set of paths that can be used to carry packet flows, and …

The routing and flow control techniques developed for wide-area, local-area, and
metropolitan-area networks are surveyed. A classification that shows the characteristics that …

A study is made of possible routing procedures in military communications networks in order
to evaluate these procedures in terms of future tactical requirements. In Part I this study is …
