Abstract
In this brief note we provide a new analysis of the transient behavior of the clear-a-fraction policy of Perkins and Kumar. In addition, we show that a new ''clear-average-oldest-buffer'' policy and a ''random part selection'' policy (of which ''first-come-first-served'' is a spe cial case) are stable, Finally, we introduce a stable and efficient '' stream modifier'' that can be used to obtain network level stability r esults.
