As you will see, there are good reasons to believe much conventional wisdom is far from the mark. She is co-author of a survey paper that covers work done by different groups on router buffer sizing. Here is a link to it: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1517487&CFID=13973251&CFTOKEN=48745519&qualifier=LU1007961 Nick Mckeown @ Stanford has several talks on buffers for routers. Here is the link to his web page: http://tiny-tera.stanford.edu/~nickm/talks/index.html The specific talks are on this page: "Internet Routers: Past Present and Future." "Buffers: How we fell in love with them, and why we need a divorce." "Sizing Router Buffers" "Network Processors and their memory" "Designing Packet Buffers for Internet Routers" "Memories for Internet Routers"
