Abstract
We consider the model of "adversarial queuing theory" for packet networks introduced by Borodin et al. [6]. We show that the scheduling protocol First-In-First-Out (FIFO) can be unstable at any injection rate larger than 1/2, and that it is always stable if the injection rate is no more than 1/d, where d is the length of the longest route used by any packet. We further show that every work-conserving (i.e., greedy) scheduling policy is stable if the injection rate is no more than 1/(d+1).
