Eeective Bandwidth in High Speed Digital Networks

The theory of large deviations provides a simple uniied basis for statistical mechanics, information theory and queueing theory. The objective of this paper is to use large deviation theory and the Laplace method of integration to provide an simple intuitive overview of the recently developed theory of eeective bandwidth for high speed digital networks, especially ATM networks. This includes (i) identiication of the appropriate energy function, entropy function and eeective bandwidth function of a source, (ii) the calculus of the eeective bandwidth functions, (iii) bandwidth allocation and buuer management, (iv) traac descriptors, and (v) envelope processes and conjugate processes for fast simulations and bounds.
