From Prior-Guided Heuristics to Deployable Agents: Accelerating Demonstration-Driven Reinforcement Learning for Deadline-Constrained Network Control
This paper introduces Effective Congestion (EC), a deadline-aware metric family that quantifies interface congestion by packet urgency and proactively filters non-viable traffic, coupled with a Uniform Path Grouping (UPG) distribution heuristic promoting robust load-balancing; the resulting policies are embedded into M...
