Abstract

To achieve a constant overflow probability, the two queueing resources, viz. buffer and bandwidth, can be traded off. In this paper we prove that, under general circumstances, the corresponding trade-off curve is convex in the 'many-sources scaling'. This convexity enables optimal resource partitioning in a queueing system supporting heterogeneous traffic, with heterogeneous quality-of-service requirements.
