We study how protocol design for various functionalities within a communication network
architecture can be viewed as a distributed resource allocation problem. This involves …

We survey some recent results on modeling, analysis and design of congestion control
schemes for the Internet. Using tools from convex optimization and control theory, we show …

We describe ways in which the transmission control protocol of the Internet may evolve to
support heterogeneous applications. We show that by appropriately marking packets at …

This paper is aimed at designing a congestion control system that scales gracefully with
network capacity, providing high utilization, low queueing delay, dynamic stability, and …

We propose an optimization approach to flow control where the objective is to maximize the
aggregate source utility over their transmission rates. We view network links and sources as …

We consider optimal control for general networks with both wireless and wireline
components and time varying channels. A dynamic strategy is developed to support all traffic …

This paper is concerned with flow control and resource allocation problems in computer
networks in which real-time applications may have hard quality of service (QoS) …

In this paper, we address the problem of optimal decentralized traffic engineering when
multiple paths are available for each call. More precisely, given a set of possible paths for …

In October of'86, the Internet had the first of what became a series of'congestion collapses'.
During this period, the data throughput from LBL to UC Berkeley (sites separated by 400 …

Discusses flow control in networks, in which sources control their rates based on feedback
signals received from the network links, a feature present in current TCP protocols. We …
