Abstract

FAST TCP is one of the most popular transmission control protocol designed for high speed networks. In this paper, we mainly address the stability issue of FAST TCP with time-delay. We first establish the nonlinear delay differential model of the network made up of FAST TCP and the routers. Then, using the stability criterion for double time-delay system, we prove that FAST TCP is locally asymptotically stable in the homogeneous networks on condition that the round trip propagation delay is smaller than the queuing delay. The simulation results show that the conclusion gained here is more accurate than the existing one.
