  • Abstract
    MaxNet is a distributed congestion control architecture. This paper analyzes the stability properties of MaxNet. We show that MaxNet is stable for networks with arbitrary delays, numbers of sources, capacities, and topologies. Unlike existing proposals, MaxNet does not need to estimate the number of bottleneck links on the end-to-end path to achieve these scaling properties.
