A minimum principle/queueing theory approach to routing in message-switched networks
James S. Meditch · 1978
Preliminary results for minimum message-delay routing in message-switched, store-and-forward, data-communication networks are presented using a minimum principle/queueing theory approach. The routing algorithm is a decentralized one which requires only local information. The results are illustrated via a special case, and extensions and problems for future research are discussed.
