TLDR
Network design strategies for the control of load fluctuations are proposed and discussed and the design of input buffer limits for network congestion control, virtual channel window size, and nodal buffer capacity addressed.Abstract:
An experimental study was conducted using a network simulator to investigate the performance of packet communication networks as a function of: the network resource capacities (channels, buffers), the network load (number of virtual channels, virtual channel loads), protocols (flow control, congestion control, routing), and protocol parameters (virtual channel window size, input buffer limits). Performance characteristics are shown and the design of input buffer limits for network congestion control, virtual channel window size, and nodal buffer capacity addressed. Network design strategies for the control of load fluctuations are proposed and discussed.read more

A tree convolution algorithm for the solution of queueing networks
Simon S. Lam,Y. Luke Lien +1 more
TL;DR: A new algorithm called the tree convolution algorithm, for the computation of normalization constants and performance measures of product-form queueing networks, is presented and is very efficient in the solution of networks with many service centers and many sparse routing chains.

A comparative study of fuzzy versus “fixed” thresholds for robust queue management in cell-switching networks
Allen R. Bonde,Sumit Ghosh +1 more
TL;DR: The paper introduces the notion of cell-blocking, wherein a fuzzy thresholding function, based on Zadeh's (1965) fuzzy set theory, is utilized to deliberately refuse entry to a fraction of incoming cells from other switches.

Protocol for network having plurality of intelligent cells
TL;DR: In this paper, a first cell transmits a sequence number and a retransmit flag with the messages, and the messages are acknowledged by a second cell if the sequence number is different that the previously received sequence number.

A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication
Vinton G. Cerf,Robert E. Kahn +1 more
TL;DR: A protocol that supports the sharing of resources that exist in different packet switching networks is presented and provides for variation in individual network packet sizes, transmission failures, sequencing, flow control, end-to-end error checking, and the creation and destruction of logical process- to-process connections.
