Delay stability of back-pressure policies in the presence of heavy-tailed traffic

We study scheduling and routing problems that arise in multi-hop wireline networks with a mix of heavy-tailed and light-tailed traffic. We analyze the delay performance of the widely studied class of Back-Pressure policies, known for their throughput optimality property, using as a performance crite...
