Efficient Resource Usage Techniques in Multiservice Networks

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the saturation probability of aggregate traffic data arrival rate on a communication link. This performance metric, also referred to as tail distribution of aggregate traffic, is essential in traffic control and management algorithms of high speed networks including future QoS Internet. In this paper efficient closed-form upper bounds have been derived for the saturation probability when very few information is available on the aggregate traffic. The performance of these estimators is also performed via numerical examples.
