B. Khasnabish et al., TRADING NODAL STORAGE CAPACITY WITH INCREMENTAL TRANSMISSION CAPACITY, IEEE transactions on communications, 41(8), 1993, pp. 1147-1150
We present queueing formulations for trading nodal Storage Capacity (S
C) with the incremental Transmission Capacity (TC) of links in supra-h
igh-speed (i.e., > 10(8)/bps) packet-switched communication networks.
The performance criterion used is the mean nodal forwarding time. The
results are useful for designing all-optical packet-switching telecomm
unication networks where the designer needs to compute the amount of I
ncremental TC (ITC) needed to eliminate a specified number of nodal bu
ffers (SC) while preserving the mean nodal forwarding time.
