Capacity allocation for voice over IP networks using maximum waiting time models by Sharafeddine, Sanaa

“…In this work, a new capacity allocation method based on the maximum waiting time model is explored. It is established from the following concept: by providing statistical quality guarantees to those packets that experience the maximum waiting time among all packets of the active voice connections, all other packets are implicitly protected from excess delay and, thus, from service degradation. …”
