Abstract
A model for computer networks is considered in which there is a cost associated with both the transmission of data across network links, and the storage of data at network nodes. Requests for data specify the time at which the data is to be used — early arrival therefore has no advantage, and has the disadvantage that the data must be stored at the node, accruing the related costs. A wide variety of data routing and broadcast problems are considered for this model. Efficient algorithms for solving some of these problems are presented; others are proven intractable.
