Abstract. We study the effect of randomness in the adversarial queueing model. All proofs of instability for deterministic queueing strategies exploit a finespun strategy of insert...
We study the stability of the commonly used packet forwarding protocol, FIFO (First In First Out), in the adversarial queueing model. We prove that FIFO can become unstable, i.e.,...
