Congestion/Flow Control and Routing in Data Networks: A Control- Theoretic Approach
Semyon M. Meerkov, Lotfi Benmohamed · 1993
In this project, a novel architecture for congestion control in store-and-forward networks has been developed and design techniques for congestion controllers has been derived. In the framework of this architecture, each switching node is equipped with a congestion controller which calculates the throttled source admission rates using only local information available at the node. Each source receives the throttled admission rates and responds by transmitting with the lowest one. The design methodology developed in this project leads to the choice of the controller gains that ensure a stable congestion-free behavior of the network. No similar results are available in the current literature. Congestion control, Decentralized control architecture, Stable transmission rate control.
