Decentralized Traffic Engineering in the Internet: A Sliding Mode Approach

本项目提出在多服务支持的互联网中，对分布式控制律和最优流量工程算法的开发进行基础研究。基于最近在计算机网络控制背景下使用滑模理论的结果，提出的研究旨在开发分散的算法和工具，以便在多条路径和多个服务类别存在的情况下实现最优流量工程。各种交通工程算法的理论基础将得到发展。它还将为该领域的从业者提供解决方案和实施指南，并为标准化机构提供有关各种交通工程方法有效性的宝贵意见。

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.
