Abstract

Over the next decades, the Internet will evolve to support increasingly complex mission-critical services such as telerobotically controlled surgery. The world's first telerobotic surgery over the public Internet was performed in 2003, and since then several hundred more have been performed. Three critical requirements of these services include: (i) essentially 100% restoration capability, (ii) small and bounded end-to-end queuing delays (ie
