The emergence of time-critical applications imposes great challenges on traditional best-
effort data networks. Such applications demand delay-guaranteed services with different …

We study the pattern of queueing delay minimization in overloaded networks using link rate
control. We show that serving packets with maximum link rates does not minimize queueing …

Network overload occurs when the demand of network users exceeds the network capacity.
The increasing gap between the growth of network demand and capacity, resulting from the …
