ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the study of dynamics, control and management of Internet congestion. It addresses congestion management over short time-scales. The chapter describes issues related to traffic rate, congestion management, and stability in networks. It deals with the control and management of congestion in integrated networks via traffic scheduling and regulation. The chapter discusses a generalized processor sharing which uses a traffic scheduling discipline. The window-size dynamics is more complicated to describe than the queue-size dynamics. The chapter analyses congestion control and resource allocation, network basics, and description of Transmission Control and Internet protocols. Traffic control over time scales from fraction of a second to few minutes can be managed via: routing algorithms, active queue management, and feedback mechanism. A common theme recurring in the Internet congestion control is that of feedback. Internet congestion control is accomplished via feedback. The congestion control processes in the current Internet represent a feedback system of an extremely large size.
