Congestion pricing as scalable, efficient and stable congestion control for future IP networks

Más información sobre el libro

This dissertation focuses on the design of more powerful distributed congestion control algorithms for TCP/IP networks by utilizing the theory of Congestion Pricing as a mathematical framework. Congestion Pricing, a strategy based on economics and optimization theory, leads to a social optimum for the entire network. High utilization is achieved with low average queue sizes. Using control theory, the stability of congestion control algorithms is further evaluated.
