چکیده

In the bounded delay buffer management problem unit size packets arrive online to be sent over a network link. The objective is maximize total weight of before their deadline. this paper we are interested in two-valued variant problem, where every packet has either low (1) or high priority (α>1). We show that optimal randomized competitive ratio against an oblivious adversary 1+(α−1)∕(α2+α).

Randomized Algorithms for Buffer Management with 2-Bounded Delay

In the buffer management problem with bounded delay, weighted packets arrive at a network switch over time, and the goal is to send those packets before their deadlines while maximizing the total weight of the packets sent. In the 2-bounded delay case, each packet has to be sent either in the step of its release or in the next step. In the deterministic case, the optimal competitive ratio for t...

One to Rule Them All: A General Randomized Algorithm for Buffer Management with Bounded Delay

We give a memoryless scale-invariant randomized algorithm Mix-R for buffer management with bounded delay that is e/(e − 1)-competitive against an adaptive adversary, together with better performance guarantees for many restricted variants, including the s-bounded instances. In particular, Mix-R attains the optimum competitive ratio of 4/3 on 2-bounded instances. Both Mix-R and its analysis are ...

Randomised Buffer Management with Bounded Delay against Adaptive Adversary

We study the Buffer Management with Bounded Delay problem, introduced by Kesselman et al. [4], or, in the standard scheduling terminology, the problem of online scheduling of unit jobs to maximise weighted throughput. The adaptive-online adversary model for this problem has recently been studied by Bieńkowski et al. [2], who proved a lower bound of 4 3 on the competitive ratio and provided a ma...

Bounded delay packet scheduling in a bounded buffer

We study the problem of buffer management in QoS-enabled network switches in the bounded delay model where each packet is associated with a weight and a deadline. We consider the more realistic situation where the network switch has a finite buffer size. A 9.82-competitive algorithm is known for the case of multiple buffers (Azar and Levy, SWAT’06). Recently, for the case of a single buffer, a ...

An optimal randomized online algorithm for reordering buffer management

We give an O(log log k)-competitive randomized online algorithm for reordering buffer management, where k is the buffer size. Our bound matches the lower bound of Adamaszek et al. (STOC 2011). Our algorithm has two stages which are executed online in parallel. The first stage computes deterministically a feasible fractional solution to an LP relaxation for reordering buffer management. The seco...
