Network Calculus is a set of recent developments, based on min-plus and max-plus algebra, which provide a deep insight into flow problems encountered in networking. After a short refresher on the basics of network calculus, I review a few of these problems (such as the greedy shaper, the window flow controller, the optimal multimedia smoother) and I show how a simple residuation theorem can be successfully applied in a quite straightforward manner to obtain important results in the context of computer networks (Joint work with J-Y Le Boudec, LCA-ISC-I&C, EPFL).
