| Abstract | The combination of the buffer size of routers deployed in the Internet and the Internet traffic itself leads routinely to routers dropping packets. Motivated by this, we initiate the rigorous study of dynamic store-and-forward routing on arbitrary networks in a model in which dropped packets must explicitly be taken into account. To avoid the uncertainties of traffic modeling, we consider arbitrary traffic on the network. We analyze and compare the effectiveness of several greedy, on-line, local-control protocols using a competitive analysis of the throughput. One goal of our approach is for the competitive results to continue to hold as a network grows without requiring the memory in the nodes to increase with the size of the network. Thus, in our model, we have link buffers of fixed size, B, which is independent of the size of the network, and B becomes a parameter of the model.Our results are in contrast to another adversarial traffic model known as Adversarial Queuing Theory (AQT), which studies the stability and growth rate of queues as a function of the network and traffic parameters. For example, in AQT the Furthest-To-Go (FTG) protocol is stable for all networks whereas Nearest-To-Go (NTG) can be unstable for some networks. Unlike AQT, in our setting NTG is preferable to FTG: we show that the NTG protocol is throughput-competitive on all networks whereas the FTG protocol has unbounded competitiveness whenever a network contains even small cycles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
