Modelling TCP Congestion Control Dynamics in Drop-Tail Environments
Overview This paper studies communication networks that employ drop-tail queueing and Additive-Increase Multiplicative-Decrease (AIMD) congestion control algorithms. It shows that the theory of nonnegative matrices may be employed to model such networks. In particular, the paper shows those important network properties such as fairness; rate of convergence; and throughput; can be characterised by certain non-negative matrices that arise in the study of AIMD networks. This paper demonstrates that these results can be used to develop tools for analysing the behaviour of AIMD communication networks. The accuracy of the models is demonstrated by means of several NS-studies.
