In queueing theory, an adversarial queueing network is a model where the traffic to the network is supplied by an opponent rather than as the result of a stochastic process. The model has seen use in describing the impact of packet injections on the performance of communication networks.[1]
The model was first introduced in 1996.[2]
The stability of an adversarial queueing network can be determined by considering a fluid limit.[3]
