Recent theoretical results in buffer sizing research suggest that core Internet routers can achieve high link utilization, if they are capable of storing only a handful of packets...

The issue of router buffer sizing is still open and significant. Previous work either considers open-loop traffic or only analyzes persistent TCP flows. This paper differs in two ...

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...
All Internet routers contain buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. Today, the size of the buffers is determined by the dynamics of TCP’s congestion control algor...
In this article we describe recent work on buffer sizing for core Internet routers. This work suggests that the widelyused rule of thumb leads to buffers which are much larger tha...
