Title
Equilibria of a class of transport equations arising in congestion control
Abstract
This paper studies a class of transport equations arising from stochastic models in congestion control. This class contains two cases of loss models as particular cases: the rate-independent case where the packet loss rate is independent of the throughput of the flow and the rate-dependent case where it depends on it. This class of equations covers both the case of persistent and of non-persistent flows. For the first time, we give a direct proof of the fact that there is a unique density solving the associated differential equation. This density and its mean value are provided as closed form expressions.
