A nice (automatically-generated) overview is given at Microsoft Research. Below are some highlights.
In their 2009 conference paper, McArdle, Tafani and Barry refer to [4] and [5] as follows:
"An exact Markov chain analysis is also provided by Rogiest et al. [4] and an analysis for correlated arrivals is considered in [5]."
In their 2009 journal article, Emre Kankaya and Akar refer to [1] and [3]. To [3] they refer as follows:
"[Paper 1] studies a finite capacity optical buffer in the special case of Poisson arrivals and generic packet lengths using Markov chains as in [the 2005 paper of Almeida et al.] but also provides closed-form expressions for blocking probability and expected delays, which is very valuable in terms of engineering insight."
In his 2008 article in Central European Journal of Operations Research, Kárász refers to [2].
In their 2008 journal article (Journal of Lightwave Technology), Liang and Xiao refer to [1].
In their 2008 conference paper, Liang, Xiao and Hu refer to [1].
In his 2008 article in Acta Cybernetica, Kar refers to [2].
In her 2007 PhD thesis, Bušić refers to [1] as follows (in French):
"Les études analytiques précédentes des algorithmes de déflexion [x, x] utilisent des modèles de blocs de transfert 2×2 sans FDL. Cependant, ces études ont un modèle trop simplifié pour les switchs et ils ne considèrent pas l’effet des FDL pour gérer une déflexion locale plutôt qu’une déflexion réelle. Une autre approche a été récemment proposée par Rogiest et al. pour analyser les FDL [1]."
In their 2007 conference paper, Liang et al. refer to [1].
In their 2007 INFOCOM conference paper, Chen et al. refer to [1].
In their 2006 conference paper, Bušić, Mamoun and Fourneau refer to [1].
In his PhD thesis, Guoqiang Hu refers to [1].
In his PhD thesis, Gauger refers to [6] and [1]. He refers to [1] as follows:
"Regarding FDL buffers with unslotted operation, several approximate analyses for dedicated feed-forward buffers ["Cal00", "APW04", "APW05", 1] obtain excellent matching with simulation results."
