I am currently on sabbatical leave at Sprint Advanced Technology Labs in Burlingame, California, in the IP and internetworking group . In 1996, I joined the Communication Networks Laboratory of the same institution, which became part of the Institute for Computer Communications and their Applications. I am also a Fellow of the Belgian American Educational Foundation, and I received the 1996 EPFL Doctoral Prize. Network calculus is a collection of results based on Min-Plus algebra, which applies to deterministic queuing systems found in communication networks. Every best effort packet is marked as either green or blue.
Green packets receive a low, bounded queueing delay.
To ensure blue packets do not suffer as a result, green flows receive less throughput during bouts of congestion. More information in ABE web page . It combines a simple scheduling mechanism in IP routers, with a reduced amount of fiber redundancy at the physical layer. More information in IP Group traffic control web page .
