Age-of-information (AoI) is a newly proposed performance metric of information freshness. It differs from the traditional delay metric, because it is destination centric and measures the time that elapsed since the last received fresh…

We consider an M server system in which each server can service at most one update packet at a time. The system designer controls (1) scheduling - the order in which the packets get serviced, (2) routing - the server that an arriving update…
