End-to-End Adaptive Congestion Control in TCP/IP Networks

List of Figures

1.1    The adaptive control architecture.

1.2    The Internet congestion control in block diagram form, also showing the analogies with a typical adaptive closed-loop control system.

2.1    Packet-switched network.

2.2    Types of connection links: a) point-to-point link; b) broadcast link.

2.3    a) The network tries to connect 6 nodes using only direct connections; b) a packet switched network for the same 6 nodes.

2.4    Many interconnected clouds form an inter-network, or internet.

2.5    Line topology.

2.6    Bus topology.

2.7    Ring topology.

2.8    Star topology.

2.9    Tree topology.
