Abstract: We derive decentralized and scalable stability conditions for a fluid approximation of a class of Internet-like communications networks operating a modified form of TCP-like congestion control. The network consists of an arbitrary interconnection of sources and links with heterogeneous propagation delays. The model here allows for arbitrary concave utility functions and the presence of dynamics at both the sources and the links.
For the single-path case, Vinnicombe REF derived decentralized and scalable stability conditions for a fluid approximation of a class of Internet-like communications networks operating a modified form of TCP-like congestion control.
