Deterministic Fluid Models for Internet Congestion Control

113 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2003.We then study the impact of parameter choice of an AQM (active queue management) scheme that can be used at the router. We argue that, depending upon the choice of the parameters of the AQM scheme, one would obtain a rate-based model or a rate-and-queue-based model as the deterministic limit of a stochastic system with a large number of users. We argue that, a virtual-queue-based AQM scheme is very robust to the choice of parameters in achieving a low-loss, low-delay, and high-utilization operation. However, with a real-queue-based marking, the choice of parameters is much more critical.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
