A queueing analysis of data networks

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In packet-switched networks, resources are typically shared by a dynamic set of data flows. This dynamic resource sharing can be represented by a queueing network with state-dependent service rates. For a specific resource allocation we refer to as balanced fairness the corresponding queueing network is a Whittle network and has an explicit stationary distribution. We give some key properties satisfied by balanced fairness and compare the resulting throughput performance to those obtained under the max-min fair and proportional fair allocations.
