In the past two years, several papers have proposed rules that suggest two to five orders of magnitude reduction in Internet core router buffers. Others present scenarios where bu...
This article describes how control theory has been used to address the question of how to size the buffers in core Internet routers. Control theory aims to predict whether the net...
Abstract— Internet routers require buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. The buffers need to be fast, and so ideally they should be small enough to use fast memory ...
MaxNet is a distributed congestion control architecture in which only the most severely bottlenecked link on the end-to-end path generates the congestion signal that controls the s...

Delivering congestion signals is essential to the performance of networks. Current TCP/IP networks use packet losses to signal congestion. Packet losses not only reduces TCP perfor...
