In recent years service curves have proven a powerful and versatile model for performance
analysis of network elements, such as schedulers, links, and traffic shapers, up to entire …

In this chapter we introduce the basic network calculus concepts of arrival, service curves
and shapers. The application given in this chapter concerns primarily networks with …

We propose and evaluate a multi-thread memory scheduler that targets high performance
CMPs. The proposed memory scheduler is based on concepts originally developed for …

We use previous network calculus results to study some properties of lossless multiplexing
as it may be used in guaranteed service networks. We call network calculus a set of results …

Virtualized servers run a diverse set of virtual machines (VMs), ranging from interactive
desktops to test and development environments and even batch workloads. Hypervisors are …

Network calculus is a min-plus system theory for performance evaluation of queuing
networks. Its elegance steins from intuitive convolution formulas for concatenation of …

Architectures of avionics networks, such as that of the Airbus A380, currently know important
evolutions. This is principally due to the increase in the complexity of the embedded …

We survey advances in theories and models for Internet quality of service (QoS). We start
with the theory of network calculus, which lays the foundation for support of deterministic …

In this paper, we study hierarchical resource management models and algorithms that
support both link-sharing and guaranteed real-time services with decoupled delay (priority) …
