| Abstract | We view congestion control as a distributed primal-dual algorithm carried out by sources and links over a network to solve a global optimization problem. We describe a multi-link multi-source model of the TCP Vegas congestion control mechanism. The model provides a fundamental understanding of delay, fairness and loss properties of TCP Vegas. It implies that Vegas stabilizes around a weighted proportionally fair allocation of network capacity when there is sucien t buering in the network. It claries the mechanism through which persistent congestion may arise and its consequences, and suggests how we might use REM active queue management to prevent it. We present simulation results that validate our conclusions. |
