On the Performance of Generalized Processor Sharing Servers under Long-Range Dependent Traffic

This paper introduces the computation of delay and backlog bounds for a Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS) server under self-similar traffic. The traffic is supposed to be regulated by the Fractal Leaky Bucket policing mechanism, which is an appropriate regulator for self-similar traffic. Results are extended to a network of GPS servers with arbitrary topology, and the stability of those networks is analysed.
