A Unified Approach to Optimizing Performance in Networks Serving Heterogeneous Flows

A Unified Approach to Optimizing Performance in Networks Serving Heterogeneous Flows ABSTRACT: We study the optimal control of communication networks in the presence of heterogeneous traffic requirements. Specifically, we distinguish the flows into two crucial classes: inelastic for modeling high-priority, delay-sensitive, and fixed-throughput applications; and elastic for modeling low-priority, delay-tolerant, and throughput-greedy applications. We note […]
