Abstract
A challenging research issue in high speed networking is how to control the transmission rate of statistical data flows. This paper describes a new algorithm, VirtualClock, for data traffic control in high-speed networks. VirtualClock maintains the statistical multiplexing flexibility of pocket switching while ensuring each data flow its reserved average throughput rate at the same time. The algorithm has been tested through simulation.

Analysis and simulation of a fair queueing algorithm
1,725 Citations1989Alan Demers, Srinivasan Keshav +1 more
It is found that fair queueing provides several important advantages over the usual first-come-first-serve queueing algorithm: fair allocation of bandwidth, lower delay for sources using less than their full share of bandwidth and protection from ill-behaved sources.

545 Citations1986Raj Jain, S. Routhier
The analysis of the arrival pattern shows that the arrival processes are neither Poisson nor compound Poisson, and an alternative model called "packet train" is proposed, which consists of a number of packet streams between various pairs of nodes on the network.

430 Citations1984John Nagle
It is discovered that the Department of Defense's Internet Protocol (IP), a pure datagram protocol, and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), a transport layer protocol, are subject to unusual congestion problems caused by interactions between the transport and datagram layers.
