Abstract

Buffering architectures and policies for their efficient management are core ingredients of a network architecture. However, despite strong incentives to experiment with and deploy new policies, opportunities for changing anything beyond minor elements are limited. We introduce a new specification language, OpenQueue, that allows to express virtual buffering architectures and management policies representing a wide variety of economic models. OpenQueue allows users to specify entire buffering architectures and policies conveniently through several comparators and simple functions. We show examples of buffer management policies in OpenQueue and empirically demonstrate its impact on performance in various settings.
