This paper deals with the problem of computing, in an online fashion, a maximum benefit multi-commodity flow (onmcf), where the flow demands may be bigger than the edge capacities of the network.We present an online, deterministic, centralized, all-or-nothing, bi-criteria algorithm. The competitive ratio of the algorithm is constant, and the algorithm augments the capacities by at most a logarithmic factor.The algorithm can handle two types of flow requests: (i) low demand requests that must be routed along a path, and (ii) high demand requests that may be routed using a multi-path flow.Two extensions are discussed: requests with known durations and machine scheduling.
