In this article we describe recent work on buffer sizing for core Internet routers. This work suggests that the widelyused rule of thumb leads to buffers which are much larger tha...
The issue of router buffer sizing is still open and significant. Previous work either considers open-loop traffic or only analyzes persistent TCP flows. This paper differs in two ...

Recent theoretical results in buffer sizing research suggest that core Internet routers can achieve high link utilization, if they are capable of storing only a handful of packets...

We revisit the question of how much buffer an IP router should allocate for its Droptail FIFO link. For a long time, setting the buffer size to the bitrate-delay product has been ...

— We investigate the validity of reducing router buffer size in a large-scale network that includes both core networks and edge networks. We first devise a novel mathematical an...
