Traffic flows with opposed requirements may coexist in these networks: traditional services as web browsing or file download that need high throughput, and services with real-time requirements that need low latency. The proposed algorithm allows the network manager to find an optimal balance (i.e. the ''sweet spot'' between throughput and latency: a ''delay budget'' can be assigned to real-time flows, with the objective of keeping the latency as close as possible to that budget, while penalizing the throughput of traditional services as little as possible. © 1997-2012 IEEE.2021http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/11967010.1109/LCOMM.2020.3044231http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/119670oai:zaguan.unizar.es:119670info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T31-20Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/UZ2019-TEC-03IEEE COMMUNICATIONS LETTERS 25, 4 (2021), 1368-1372All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
