Abstract

We consider a single link accessed by a single source which responds to congestion signals from the network. The design of controllers for such sources in the presence of feedback delay has received much attention recently. Here we present conditions for the global, asymptotic stability and semi-global exponential stability of congestion controllers which are natural extensions of earlier linearized analysis.of such systems. Our result on exponential stability provides the missing link in the proof of how one obtains a single deterministic congestion control equation from a system with many congestion-controlled sources and random disturbances. Using numerical examples, we compare the conditions on the congestion-control parameters obtained using local and global stability analysis.
