Queue Capacity & Backpressure Lab

Push producers faster than consumers and watch queues, waits, and drops emerge.

At what queue depth does the consumer tip over?

Arrival below capacity — queue stays bounded.

Method

  • Deterministic local model of the mechanism — knobs recompute outputs instantly with no network.
  • Numbers are teaching approximations, not production capacity guarantees.
