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...
On-chip interconnection networks (OCINs) have emerged as a modular and scalable solution for wire delay constraints in deep submicron VLSI design. OCIN research has shown that the ...

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 ...
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 technologie...
Two schools of thoughts have emerged over the recent debate on internet router buffer sizing. One school argues that the presence of a large number of flows leads to traffic desync...
