Abstract
We consider the following buffer management problem arising in QoS networks: packets with specified weights and deadlines arrive at a network switch and need to be forwarded so that the total value of forwarded packets is maximized. If a packet is not forwarded before its deadline, it is lost and brings no profit. The main result of the paper is an online 64/3
