Fairness, QoS, and buffer sizing

Published: 10 January 2006 Publication History

Abstract

This note is a reply to some of the points about buffer sizing raised by Dhamdhere and Dovrolis [1]. I'll use a simple mathematical model to make stark some of the tradeoffs that need to be weighed when deciding on buffer size.
