Query: SharpEdge: An Asynchronous and Core-Agnostic Solution to Guarantee
  Bounded-Delays   What are the key properties that a network should have to provide
bounded-delay guarantees for the packets? In this paper, we attempt to answer
this question. To that end, we explore the theory of bounded-delay networks and
provide the necessary and the sufficient conditions required to have
deterministic bounded-delays in the network. We prove that as long as a network
is work-conserving, independent of the packet scheduling and queue management
algorithms used in the switches, it is sufficient to shape the
traffic~\textit{properly} at the edge of the network to meet hard
bounded-delays in the network. Using the derived theorems, we present
SharpEdge, a novel design to meet deterministic bounded-delays in the network.
To the best of our knowledge, SharpEdge is the first scheme that can meet all
following key properties: 1) it supports coexistence of different classes of
traffic, while it can guarantee their different required bounded-delays 2) it
does not require any changes in the core of the network, 3) it supports both
periodic and bursty traffic patterns, and 4) it does not require any time
synchronization between network devices.
