TCP/IP Interaction Based on Congestion Price: Stability and Optimality

Tags:
switching

Overview Despite the large body of work studying congestion control and adaptive routing in isolation, much less attention has been paid to whether these two resource-allocation mechanisms work well together to optimize user performance. Most analysis of congestion control assumes static routing, and most studies of adaptive routing assume the offered traffic is fixed. This paper analyzes the interaction between congestion control and adaptive routing, and study the stability and optimality of the joint system. Previous work has shown that the system can be modeled as a joint optimization problem that naturally leads to a primal-dual algorithm with shortest-path routing using congestion prices as the link weights.

Software heals systems while they work

Fundamentally we have to invent and architect systems that function much like the human body--they self-adjust temperature, heart rate. The software developed at Penn State lets databases be adaptive, according to the researchers, in order to avoid...

Microsoft issues largest patch batch to date

While a lot of these [other Microsoft] remote execution flaws require user interaction, this one does not. The most important bulletin, MS06-025, is a fix for routing and remote access vulnerabilities in Windows, said Jonathan Bitle, a senior...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The routing algorithm is based on the position of the vehicles and is able to handle the typically fast changes of ad hoc networks. The impact of congestion and accidents is staggering when accumulated.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

Yes, it all works to some degree some of the time but continually increasing the number of VoIP and videoconference calls, radio and TV broadcasts just creates congestion, increased latencies and ultimately one meltdown after another.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
