Abstract

In this paper we present a control theoretic approach to the design of closed loop rate based flow control in high speed networks. The proposed control uses a dual proportional derivative controller, where the control parameters can be designed to ensure the stability of the control loop in a control theoretic sense, over a wide range of traffic patterns and propagation delays. We show how the control mechanism can be used to design a controller to support ABR service based on feedback of explicit rates. We demonstrate the excellent transient and steady state performance of the controller through a number of examples.
