Optimal buffer sharing.

We address the problem of designing optimal buffer management policies in shared memory switches when packets already accepted in the switch can be dropped (pushed-out). Our goal is to maximize the overall throughput, or equivalently to minimize the overall loss probability in the system. For a syst...
