Shorten, Robert and Wirth, Fabian and Leith , Douglas (2006) A Positive Systems Model of TCP-Like Congestion Control: Asymptotic Results. IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 14 (3). pp. 616-629. ISSN 1063-6692 AbstractAbstract—We study communication networks that employ
drop-tail queueing and Additive-Increase Multiplicative-Decrease (AIMD) congestion control algorithms. It is shown that the theory of nonnegative matrices may be employed to model such networks. In particular, important network properties, such as: 1) fairness; 2) rate of convergence; and 3) throughput, can be characterized by certain nonnegative matrices. We demonstrate that these results can be used to develop tools for analyzing the behavior of AIMD communication networks. The accuracy of the models is
demonstrated by several NS studies. | Additional Information: | "©2006 IEEE. Reprinted from IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. Personal use of this material is permitted.
