Some Results on Traffic Control and Resource Allocation in ATM networks

We first consider the problem of minimizing the loss in a system of two finite capacity queues in series with no blocking at the first queue. The issue is to choose an optimal ratio of the service rates and an optimal distribution of the buffer space between the two queues. Then we address the same optimization problem for a three queue system with multiplexing at the third queue and we discuss the potential applications of the results obtained for dimensioning broadband ISDN networks based on ATM.

Minimizing the loss of non-blocking tandem buffer stages

Abstract We consider the problem of minimizing the loss in a system of two finite capacity queues in series with no blocking at the first queue. The issue is to choose an optimal ratio of the service rates and an optimal distribution of the buffer space between the two queues. We also discuss the potential applications of the results obtained for the design of broadband communication networks using asynchronous transfer mode.
