Abstract :
We present a receiver-initiated fuzzy logic control method to improve computer network performance by balancing loads among computers. We study and present the performance of this protocol by comparing it with the performance of: (i) a well-known protocol called the BID algorithm; (ii) a non-fuzzy (threshold based) receiver-initiated algorithm; (iii) a fuzzy logic sender-initiated algorithm.
