      Near-optimal hot-potato routing on trees 

      Busch, Costas; Magdon-Ismail, M.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Wattenhofer, R. (2004)
      In hot-potato (deflection) routing, nodes in the network have no buffers for packets in transit, which causes conflicting packets to be deflected away from their destinations. We study one-to-many batch routing problems ...

      Universal bufferless packet switching 

      Busch, Costas; Magdon-Ismail, M.; Mavronicolas, Marios (2007)
      A packet-switching algorithm specifies the actions of the nodes in order to deliver packets in the network. A packet-switching algorithm is universal if it applies to any network topology and for any batch communication ...

      Universal bufferless routing 

      Busch, Costas; Magdon-Ismail, M.; Mavronicolas, Marios (2005)
      Given an arbitrary network, and a routing problem with congestion C and dilation D, a long standing open problem is to show the existence of bufferless routing algorithms with optimal performance guarantees (routing time ...
