We address in this paper the buffer allocation problem in general service, finite waiting room, multi-server queueing networks. Several instances are examined using an approximation method to estimate the performance of the queueing networks and an iterative search method is developed to find the optimal buffer allocation within the network. The coefficient of variation of the service time is s...

Recently, a lot of study has been carried out to clarify the dynamics of TCP congestion control mechanism. The congestion window distribution of idealized TCP has been investigated with constant packet loss in [1] and with variable packet loss in [2]. Average window size and throughput have been calculated in [3–5]. A stochastic Ito calculus has been developed in [6]. These studies considered p...
