Tightening Network Calculus Delay Bounds by Predicting Flow Prolongations in the FIFO Analysis

Network calculus offers the means to compute worst-case traversal times based on interpreting a system as a queueing network. A major strength of network calculus is its strict separation of modeling and analysis frameworks. That is, a model is purely descriptive and can be put into multiple different analyses to derive a data flow’s worst-case traversal time bound. One of the recent results in th...
