What is Network Calculus ?
Network Calculus is a collection of results based primarily on min-plus algebra, which
applies to deterministic queuing systems found in communication networks.
It can
be used to understand:
- what is a T-SPEC or arrival curve constraint;
- how to compute delay and backlog bounds in deterministic or time sensitive networks;
- why
re-shaping delays can be ignored in shapers or spacer-controllers;
- a
common model for schedulers;
- and
much more.
