This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Society is becoming increasingly reliant on large networked information systems for commerce, communication, education, entertainment and government. Currently, however, system designers lack techniques to predict global behaviors that may arise in the Internet as a result of interactions among existing and altered software components. Hardware faults and unexpected usage patterns may also occur within the Internet. This study aims to improve existing knowledge about a range of methods and tools that could be applied to understand and predict behavior in complex information systems. Charts and tables.

As the Internet becomes increasingly heterogeneous, the issue of congestion control becomes ever more important. In order to maintain good network performance, mechanisms must be provided to prevent the network from being congested for any significant period of time. Michael Welzl describes the background and concepts of Internet congestion control, in an accessible and easily comprehensible format. Throughout the book, not just the how, but the why of complex technologies including the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Active Queue Management are explained. The text also gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in congestion control research and an insight into the future. Network Congestion Control: Presents comprehensive, easy-to-read documentation on the advanced topic of congestion control without heavy maths. Aims to give a thorough understanding of the evolution of Internet congestion control: how TCP works, why it works the way it does, and why some congestion control concepts failed for the Internet. Explains the Chiu/Jain vector diagrams and introduces a new method of using these diagrams for analysis, teaching & design. Elaborates on how the theory of congestion control impacts on the practicalities of service delivery. Includes an appendix with examples/problems to assist learning. Provides an accompanying website with Java tools for teaching congestion control, as well as examples, links to code and projects/bibliography. This invaluable text will provide academics and researchers in computer science, electrical engineering and communications networking, as well as students on advanced networking and Internet courses, with a thorough understanding of the current state and future evolution of Internet congestion control.

The proliferation and universal adoption of the Internet has made it become the key information transport platform of our time. Congestion occurs when resource demands exceed the capacity, which results in poor performance in the form of low network utilization and high packet loss rate. The goal of congestion control mechanisms is to use the network resources as efficiently as possible. The research work in this thesis is centered on finding ways to address these types of problems and provide guidelines for predicting and controlling network performance, through the use of suitable mathematical tools and control analysis. The first congestion collapse in the Internet was observed in 1980's. To solve the problem, Van Jacobson proposed the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) congestion control algorithm based on the Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) mechanism in 1988. To be effective, a congestion control mechanism must be paired with a congestion detection scheme. To detect and distribute network congestion indicators fairly to all on-going flows, Active Queue Management (AQM), e.g., the Random Early Detection (RED) queue management scheme has been developed to be deployed in the intermediate nodes. The currently dominant AIMD congestion control, coupled with the RED queue in the core network, has been acknowledged as one of the key factors to the overwhelming success of the Internet. In this thesis, the AIMD/RED system, based on the fluid-flow model, is systematically studied. In particular, we concentrate on the system modeling, stability analysis and bounds estimates. We first focus on the stability and fairness analysis of the AIMD/RED system with a single bottleneck. Then, we derive the theoretical estimates for the upper and lower bounds of homogeneous and heterogeneous AIMD/RED systems with feedback delays and further discuss the system performance when it is not asymptotically stable. Last, we develop a general model for a class of multiple-bottleneck networks and discuss the stability properties of such a system. Theoretical and simulation results presented in this thesis provide insights for in-depth understanding of AIME/RED system and help predict and control the system performance for the Internet with higher data rate links multiplexed with heterogeneous flows.

Establishing adaptive control as an alternative framework to design and analyze Internet congestion controllers, End-to-End Adaptive Congestion Control in TCP/IP Networks employs a rigorously mathematical approach coupled with a lucid writing style to provide extensive background and introductory material on dynamic systems stability and neural network approximation; alongside future internet requests for congestion control architectures. Designed to operate under extreme heterogeneous, dynamic, and time-varying network conditions, the developed controllers must also handle network modeling structural uncertainties and uncontrolled traffic flows acting as external perturbations. The book also presents a parallel examination of specific adaptive congestion control, NNRC, using adaptive control and approximation theory, as well as extensions toward cooperation of NNRC with application QoS control. Features: Uses adaptive control techniques for congestion control in packet switching networks Employs a rigorously mathematical approach with lucid writing style Presents simulation experiments illustrating significant operational aspects of the method; including scalability, dynamic behavior, wireless networks, and fairness Applies to networked applications in the music industry, computers, image trading, and virtual groups by techniques such as peer-to-peer, file sharing, and internet telephony Contains working examples to highlight and clarify key attributes of the congestion control algorithms presented Drawing on the recent research efforts of the authors, the book offers numerous tables and figures to increase clarity and summarize the algorithms that implement various NNRC building blocks. Extensive simulations and comparison tests analyze its behavior and measure its performance through monitoring vital network quality metrics. Divided into three parts, the book offers a review of computer networks and congestion control, presents an adaptive congestion control framework as an alternative to optimization methods, and provides appendices related to dynamic systems through universal neural network approximators.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next big challenge for the research community. The IPv6 over low power wireless personal area network (6LoWPAN) protocol stack is considered a key part of the IoT. In 6LoWPAN networks, heavy network traffic causes congestion which significantly degrades network performance and impacts on quality of service aspects. This book presents a concrete, solid and logically ordered work on congestion control for 6LoWPAN networks as a step toward successful implementation of the IoT and supporting the IoT application requirements. The book addresses the congestion control issue in 6LoWPAN networks and presents a comprehensive literature review on congestion control for WSNs and 6LoWPAN networks. An extensive congestion analysis and assessment for 6LoWPAN networks is explored through analytical modelling, simulations and real experiments. A number of congestion control mechanisms and algorithms are proposed to mitigate and solve the congestion problem in 6LoWPAN networks by using and utilizing the non-cooperative game theory, multi-attribute decision making and network utility maximization framework. The proposed algorithms are aware of node priorities and application priorities to support the IoT application requirements and improve network performance in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, energy consumption, number of lost packets and weighted fairness index.
