Abstract: In a recent paper we presented an analysis of flow control in store-and-forward computer communication networks using a token mechanism. The analysis assumed equilibrium conditions for a ...

Abstract: The problem of hop-by-hop flow control in a computer network is formulated as a Markov decision process with a cost function composed of the delay of the messages and the buffer constraints.
