The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) carries most Internet traffic, so performance of the
Internet depends to a great extent on how well TCP works. Performance characteristics of a …

Fairness is an important performance criterion in all resource allocation schemes, including
those in distributed computer systems. However, it is often specified only mmmmmmmmmS …

We discuss gateway queueing algorithms and their role in controlling congestion in
datagram networks. A fair queueing algorithm, based on an earlier suggestion by Nagle, is …

Hospitals are complex systems with essential societal benefits and huge mounting costs.
These costs are exacerbated by inefficiencies in hospital processes, which are often …

In this paper the shortest-path problem in networks in which the delay (or weight) of the
edges changes with time according to arbitrary functions is considered. Algorithms for …

The authors suggest and investigate a general input congestion control scheme that takes
into account a broad spectrum of network issues. As a preventive congestion control …

The author studies a simple strategy, proposed independently by EL Hahne and RG
Gallager (1986) and MGH Katevenis (1987), for fairly allocating link capacity in a point-to …

The problem of optimally choosing message rates for users of a store-and-forward network
is analyzed. Multiple users sharing the links of the network each attempt to adjust their …

Congestion in a queueing system can sometimes be controlled by restricting arrivals, either
by" closing a gate" or by charging an entrance fee or toll. We review both static (open-loop) …

An FPGA is a peculiar hardware realization substrate in terms of the relative speed and cost
of logic vs. wires vs. memory. In this paper, we present a Network-on-Chip (NoC) design …
