Design and Stability Analysis of a Rate Control Algorithm Using the Routh–Hurwitz Stability Criterion
James Aweya, Michel Ouellette, Delfin Y. Montuno · IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking · 2004
Feedback delays arise in the control of a computer network-from the information transfer process itself and from the processing of control signals at the network nodes. Flow control of data sources in a computer network often results in a time-delayed control problem. Feedback delay reduces the stability of a system. In this paper we discuss how to use the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion to design and analyze the stability of a flow control algorithm with feedback delay.
