Delay Analysis of the Max-Weight Policy Under Heavy-Tailed Traffic via Fluid Approximations

We consider switched queueing networks with a mix of heavy-tailed (i.e., arrival processes with infinite variance) and exponential-type traffic and study the delay performance of the max-weight policy, known for its throughput optimality and asymptotic delay optimality properties. Our focus is on th...
