Design of a Stochastic Traffic Regulator for End-to-End Network Delay Guarantees

Providing end-to-end network delay guarantees in packet-switched networks such as the Internet is highly desirable for mission-critical and delay-sensitive data transmission, yet it remains a challenging open problem. Since deterministic bounds are based on worst-case traffic behavior, various frameworks stochastic calculus have been proposed to provide less conservative, probabilistic delay, at least theory. However, little attention has devoted problem of regulating according burstiness bounds, which necessary order guarantee practice. We design analyze regulator that can be used conjunction with results from delay. Two alternative implementations developed compared. Numerical provided demonstrate performance regulator.
