We consider a single multi-server memoryless service station. Servers have heterogeneous service rates. Arrivals are routed to one of the servers, and the routing decisions are no...
We consider the round robin (RR) scheduling policy where the server processes each job in its buffer for at most a fixed quantum, q, in a round-robin fashion. The processor sharin...
This paper explores some of the traffic phenomena that arise when drivers have to navigate a network in which queues back up past diverge intersections. If a diverge provides two ...
We consider an extension of the standard G/G/1 queue, described by the equation W D = max{0, B − A + Y W}, where P[Y = 1] = p and P[Y = −1] = 1 − p. For p = 1 this model red...
— Two rate SLAs become increasingly popular in today’s Internet, allowing a customer to save money by paying one price for committed traffic and a much lower price for additio...
