Competitive admission control and routing of multi-class traffic with statistical QoS guarantees

We propose competitive policies for admission control and routing in general topology networks, with bandwidth and buffer resources. The goal of these solutions is to maximize the network revenue, when the traffic demand is not known ahead of time, and over-allocation of network resources is allowed with some probability. On top of appropriate resource reservation setup protocols, these solutions provide statistical service while optimizing the profit of the network operator.
