Abstract

In this paper we present a new aspect of human kind life that is the Internet. We call this new ecosystem IBE (Internet Biologic Environment). As a first step in modeling of IBE we view it from point of congestion control and develop an algorithm that utilizes some aspects of biologically inspired mathematical models as a nontraditional approach to design of congestion control in communication networks. We show that the interaction of those Internet entities that involved in congestion control mechanisms is similar to predator-prey and competition interactions. We combine the mathematical models of predator-prey and competition interactions to obtain a hybrid model and apply it in congestion control issue. Simulation results show that using appropriately defined parameters, this model leads to a stable, fair and high-performance congestion control algorithm.
