Bandwidth Sharing Scheme of End-to-End Congestion Control Protocols

Abstract

In a general network, it is not easy to find according to which criterion the available bandwidth would be shared between competing flows. In this paper, we propose a technique to find the bandwidth sharing scheme of end-to-end congestion control protocols. This technique divides the analysis work into two separate steps. In the first step, one should find the rate function, which expresses the relation between the throughput and the congestion measure. In the second step, the utility function can be obtained from the rate function.
