Abstract :
Quasi-cut-through is a hybrid switching technique that has been recently proposed for computer networks. This paper deals with the end-to-end static flow control for computer networks using this hybrid switching technique. Two algorithms to handle the retransmissions of erroneous packets over noisy channels are analyzed and compared. Results are presented in terms of maximum user throughput, corresponding network delay, and power.
