TLDR
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.
Abstract
We discuss gateway queueing algorithms and their role in controlling congestion in datagram networks. A fair queueing algorithm, based on an earlier suggestion by Nagle, is proposed. Analysis and simulations are used to compare this algorithm to other congestion control schemes. We find 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.

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: the multiple node case

TL;DR: Worst-case bounds on delay and backlog are derived for leaky bucket constrained sessions in arbitrary topology networks of generalized processor sharing (GPS) servers and the effectiveness of PGPS in guaranteeing worst-case session delay is demonstrated under certain assignments.

Quality-of-service routing for supporting multimedia applications

TL;DR: This paper first examines the basic problem of QoS routing, namely, finding a path that satisfies multiple constraints, and its implications on routing metric selection, and presents three path computation algorithms for source routing and for hop-by-hop routing.

Efficient fair queueing using deficit round-robin

TL;DR: This paper describes a new approximation of fair queuing that achieves nearly perfect fairness in terms of throughput, requires only O(1) work to process a packet, and is simple enough to implement in hardware.

Congestion avoidance and control

TL;DR: The measurements and the reports of beta testers suggest that the final product is fairly good at dealing with congested conditions on the Internet, and an algorithm recently developed by Phil Karn of Bell Communications Research is described in a soon-to-be-published RFC.

Internet Protocol

J. Postel
TL;DR: Along with TCP, IP represents the heart of the Internet protocols and has two primary responsibilities: providing connectionless, best-effort delivery of datagrams through an internetwork; and providing fragmentation and reassembly of data links to support data links with different maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes.

Congestion control in IP/TCP internetworks

TL;DR: 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.

Flow Control: A Comparative Survey

TL;DR: Flow control can be exercised at various levels in a packet network: hop level, entry-to-exit level, network access level, and transport level, where the interaction between the different levels is discussed and the most representative techniques are surveyed and compared.
