Abstract

We proposed earlier a flow control algorithm derived from solving the dual of a welfare maximization problem. The algorithm however requires communication between network links and sources that is not achievable on the current Internet. We then extended the basic algorithm to a random early marking (REM) scheme which can be implemented using only binary feedback. We proposed a new price computation algorithm for REM and present simulation results to illustrate its superior performance over the previous versions
