Decentralized Traffic Engineering in the Internet: A Sliding Mode Approach

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project proposes to perform fundamental research on the development of classes ofdistributed control laws and algorithms for optimal traffic engineering in a multiple-service enabled Internet. Having its basis on recent results on the use of Sliding Modetheory in the context of control of computer networks, the proposed research aims atdeveloping decentralized algorithms and tools for optimal traffic engineering in thepresence of both multiple paths and multiple classes of service. The theoreticalunderpinnings of various traffic engineering algorithms will be developed. It will alsoprovide solutions, implementation guidelines to practitioners in the field and alsovaluable input to standardization bodies on the effectiveness of various trafficengineering approaches.
