In the past two years, several papers have proposed rules that suggest two to five orders of magnitude reduction in Internet core router buffers. Others present scenarios where bu...
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...
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...

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...
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 ...
