VirtualClock: a new traffic control algorithm for packet-switched networks
Open accessAbstract
One of the challenging research issues in building high-speed packet-switched networks is how to control the transmission rate of statistical data flows. This paper describes a new traffic control algorithm, VirtualClock , for high-speed network applications. VirtualClock monitors the average transmission rate of statistical data flows and provides every flow with guaranteed throughput and low queueing delay. It provides firewall protection among individual flows, as in a TDM system, while retaining the statistical multiplexing advantages of packet switching. Simulation results show that the VirtualClock algorithm meets all its design goals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
