Jumping Fluid Models and Delay Stability of Max-Weight Dynamics under Heavy-Tailed Traffic

Arsalan Sharifnassab, John N. Tsitsiklis

We say that a random variable is $light$-$tailed$ if moments of order $2+\epsilon$ are finite for some $\epsilon >0$; otherwise, we say that it is $heavy$-$tailed$. We study queueing networks tha…
