  • TITLE: Dynamic Analysis of Congested TCP Networks
  • AUTHOR: Yossi Chait, C.V. Hollot, Vishal Misra, Huaizhong Han and Yoram Halevi
  • ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to study the small-signal stability of congested TCP networks. The starting point for this analysis is a fluid model describing the interaction of TCP-controlled traffic with congested routers. Assuming ntegral action in the active queue management scheme, we compute the networks equilibrium point about which we determine the networks small-signal dynamics. Specializing to networks com-prised of m links and m + 1 sources, we study closed-loop stability, study network scaling, and evaluate robustness to variations in network parameters.
