— This paper investigates in detail the blocking and nonblocking behavior of multirate Clos switching networks at the connection/virtual connection level. The results are applica...
Abstract—The total transmission capacity required by a transport network to satisfy demand and protect it from failures contributes significantly to its cost, especially in long...

— This paper explores the variations in mean queue length for stationary arrival processes with the same mean and autocorrelation functions, or equivalently, the same mean and po...
—We present a scheduling protocol, called time-shift scheduling, to forward packets from multiple input flows to a single output channel. Each input flow is guaranteed a predet...

— This paper presents the “allocated-capacity” framework for providing different levels of best-effort service in times of network congestion. The “allocatedcapacity” fra...
— The configuration of virtual path (VP) connection services is expected to play an important role in the operation of large-scale asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. A m...
—The notion of effective bandwidths has provided a useful practical framework for connection admission control and capacity planning in high-speed communication networks. The ass...
