Network coding promises to significantly impact the way communications networks are
designed, operated, and understood. This book presents a unified and intuitive overview of …

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 consider the problem of establishing minimum-cost multicast connections over coded
packet networks, ie, packet networks where the contents of outgoing packets are arbitrary …

TCP-AQM can be interpreted as distributed primal-dual algorithms to maximize aggregate
utility over source rates. We show that an equilibrium of TCP/IP, if exists, maximizes …

In this paper, we study the problem of utility maximization in P2P systems, in which
aggregate application-specific utilities are maximized by running distributed algorithms on …

Recent advances in network coding have shown great potential for efficient information
multicasting in communication networks, in terms of both network throughput and network …

This paper proposes a novel and efficient distributed flow control scheme for multirate
multicast (MR-M), based on the well-known Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) …

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 …

Network coding techniques are used to find the minimum-cost transmission scheme for
multicast sessions with or without elastic rate demand. It is shown that in wireline networks …
