Congestion is a wasteful stage of the production process where outputs are reduced due to excessive amount of inputs. There are several approaches in data envelopment analysis (DEA) literatures to treat congestion. The concept of strong and weak congestion first developed by Tone and Sahoo [Tone, K., Sahoo, B.K., 2004. Degree of scale economies and congestion: A unified DEA approach. European J...

We put forward a new model of congestion games where agents have uncertainty over the routes used by other agents. We take a non-probabilistic approach, assuming that each agent knows that the number of agents using an edge is within a certain range. Given this uncertainty, we model agents who either minimize their worst-case cost (WCC) or their worst-case regret (WCR), and study implications o...

Relentless congestion control is a simple modification to AIMD congestion control: instead of halving cwnd after a loss, cwnd is reduced by the number of lost segments. It can be modeled as a strict implementation of Van Jacobson’s Packet Conservation Principle. Relentless congestion control has exactly unity gain, which is expected to make it much easier for network devices to accurately contr...

The application of sliding mode control in wireless network is used for considering the joint congestion control and scheduling. Incorporating dual decomposition enables the joint congestion control and scheduling problem to be considered separately. The communication among these two sub problems is given by the lagrangian price value. Based on the utility optimization of network the congestion...

In this paper, the impact of endogenous information provision to drivers in road transport is investigated. A static economic equilibrium model is used, which allows potential road users to buy information on the prevailing (stochastic) traffic situation. It takes for granted that an indiviual will try to acquire proper information when the private benefits of doing so exceed the private costs....

This work presents HSTCP-LP (High-Speed TCP Low Priority), a high-speed TCP stack whose goal is to utilize only the excess network bitrate (bandwidth) as compared to the “fair-share” of bitrate as targeted by other TCP variants. By giving a strict priority to all non-HSTCP-LP cross-traffic flows, HSTCP-LP enables a simple two-class prioritization without any support from the network. It enables...

The development of international trade is one of the main driving forces behind the international and transcontinental freight transport. Within Europe the European integration has given a significant impulse for the development of transborder freight transport. A third element, which is of significant influence on both the volume and the composition of international freight transport, concerns...

This paper presents a new architecture that enables a set of clients to enforce traffic shaping policies among them through the delegation of congestion signals. When congestion-aware Internet flows share a bottleneck link, they compete for bandwidth and must respond to congestion signals promptly by decreasing their throughput. For clients running real-time applications (e.g., gaming, streamin...
