Abstract—The demand for more bandwidth has lead to proposals for an all-optical network core. Due to inherent constraints of optical technology, only routers with small packet bu...
Famous rule-of-thumb states that a buffer sized at B = RTT × BW, where RTT is the average round trip time and BW is the bandwidth of output link is necessary in order to achieve ...
— There is growing interest in designing high speed routers with small buffers that store only tens of packets. Recent studies suggest that TCP NewReno, with the addition of a pa...

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 ...
