Effective bandwidth of multiclass Markovian traffic sources and admission control with dynamic buffer partitioning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigate the statistical multiplexing and admission control for a partitioned buffer, where the traffic is generated by multiclass Markov-modulated fluid sources. Each of the sources has J (>1) classes at each state. The quality of service (QoS) is described by the packet loss probability for each class. The buffer is partitioned with J-1 thresholds to provide the J loss priorities. Extending the effective bandwidth concept to such a buffer system is a challenging topic. We find the minimal effective bandwidth in the asymptotic regime of large buffers and small loss probabilities by optimally setting the partition thresholds. The minimal effective bandwidth achieves efficient resource utilization and can be used to do admission control for heterogeneous multiclass Markovian sources in an additive way. The buffer partition thresholds are dynamically adjusted according to the input traffic load to guarantee QoS. Numerical analysis and simulation results verify the QoS satisfaction and the obvious improvement of resource utilization compared with previously published results, when the minimal effective bandwidth is used for resource allocation with the proposed dynamic buffer partitioning techniques.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
