Abstract

An analytic model is presented for the performance evaluation of rate based flow controls for the transport layer in high speed networks by using Markov chains. In order to provide insights into the behavior of the rate control mechanisms, critical parameters, such as round-trip delay, processing capacity, receiver buffer size, and traffic characteristics, are considered in the model. The performance measures are mainly concerned with the loss probability, throughput and average overload time. A simple optimal approach to the design of the rate control systems is also proposed
