CONTROLLING BIFURCATION AND CHAOS IN INTERNET CONGESTION CONTROL MODEL

Abstract

The TCP end-to-end congestion control plus RED router queue management can be modeled as a discrete-time dynamical system, which can create complex bifurcating and chaotic behavior. Based on the basic features of the TCP-RED model, we investigate the possibility of controlling bifurcation and chaos in the system via several time-delayed feedback control strategies. Two adaptive parameter-tuning algorithms are proposed and evaluated.
