Query: Optimal Control of Distributed Computing Networks with Mixed-Cast
  Traffic Flows   Distributed computing networks, tasked with both packet transmission and
processing, require the joint optimization of communication and computation
resources. We develop a dynamic control policy that determines both routes and
processing locations for packets upon their arrival at a distributed computing
network. The proposed policy, referred to as Universal Computing Network
Control (UCNC), guarantees that packets i) are processed by a specified chain
of service functions, ii) follow cycle-free routes between consecutive
functions, and iii) are delivered to their corresponding set of destinations
via proper packet duplications. UCNC is shown to be throughput-optimal for any
mix of unicast and multicast traffic, and is the first throughput-optimal
policy for non-unicast traffic in distributed computing networks with both
communication and computation constraints. Moreover, simulation results suggest
that UCNC yields substantially lower average packet delay compared with
existing control policies for unicast traffic.
