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 technologies such as SRAM or all-optical buffering.
Unfortunately, a widely used rule-of-thumb says we need a bandwidth-delay
product of buffering at each router so as not to lose link utilization. This
can be prohibitively large. Recently, Appenzeller et al. challenged this
rule-of-thumb and showed that for a backbone network, the buffer sizes can
be divided by sqrt(N) without sacrificing throughput, where N is the
number.....
