Abstract
We consider a scenario where large data frames are broken into a few packets and transmitted over the network. Our focus is on a bottleneck router: the model assumes that in each time step, a set of packets (a burst) arrives, from which only one packet can be served, and all other packets are lost. A data frame is considered useful only if none of its constituent packets is lost, and otherwise it is worthless. We abstract the problem as a new type of online set packing, present a randomized distributed algorithm and a matching lower bound on the competitive ratio for any randomized online algorithm. Our bounds are expressed in terms of the maximal burst size and the maximal number of packets per frame. We also present refined bounds that depend on the uniformity of these parameters.
