Abstract

A class of Internet congestion control algorithms with communication delays is studied. The algorithm is a pieced continuous function that will be switched on the rate of the source. Based on the Lyapunov theorem, the Lyapunov stability of the system is analyzed. By applying Barbalat Lemma, the global asymptotical stability (GAS) of the algorithm is proved, and a more concise criterion is presented.
