Abstract

We discuss the design of an overload control protocol from an optimisation perspective. The design process starts with the formulation of a convex optimisation problem. We then construct a distributed algorithm for this problem by applying Lagrangian decomposition. The different components make use of models of their environment to ensure convergence of the algorithm. We show how the constructed algorithm is implemented by GOCAP, an overload control protocol currently undergoing standardisation.
