ADAPTIVE SELF-STABILIZING CONNECTION CONTROL SCHEME FOR SEWER-BASED NETWORKS

In this note, an adaptive self-stabilizing connection control scheme f or server-based networks is proposed. This scheme gradually limits the total number of connections allocated by the server so the response t ime of the network is fast when there is little load and remains toler able when the load increases. Analysis shows that this scheme performs significantly better than one with a fixed limit on the number of con nections. The analysis is also verified by computer simulation. Finall y, we show that the scheme can be easily implemented on a commercially available server-based network.
