Using fluid models to prove stability of adversarial queueing networks
Abstract
A digital communication network can be modeled as an adversarial queueing network. An adversarial queueing network is defined to be stable if the number of packets stays bounded over time. A central question is to determine which adversarial queueing networks are stable under-every work-conserving packet routing policy. Our main result is that stability of an adversarial queueing network is implied by stability of an associated fluid queueing network.
