Learning in Queuing Systems with Buffers

Jeronimo Martin Duque

In our project, we study packet buildup in a network in which routers compete to get their packets processed by servers. We model and analyze this system mathematically to derive conditions that ensure there is no significant buildup. Our key contribution is the presence of buffers at the servers, which alters the behavior of the routers. This is complemented by simulations of the network, allowing us to better understand the dynamics of such systems.
