Multiple bottleneck topology TCP/AQM switching network congestion control with input saturation and prescribed performance.

This paper studies the congestion control problem of multiple bottleneck networks. First, this paper regards the routing nodes of the network as multi-agents, and considers its own dynamic process. For the first time, the time-varying characteristics of the number of sessions in the network transmission process and the mutual influence between nodes are considered into the model, and a queue utilization rate switching model is established to describe the dynamics of a single agent. Then, considering the boundedness of the control input, combined with the prescribed performance technique, two congestion controllers are designed by using the backstepping method according to whether the controller depends on the number of sessions. The designed congestion controllers improve the robustness of the TCP/AQM network system in the case of frequent and time-varying sessions in multiple bottleneck networks. In addition, the designed controllers can stabilize different routing nodes of multiple bottleneck networks under different queue lengths, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the network. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the designed controllers are verified by simulation. • TCP/IP network node queue utilization switching model is built. • The controller design takes into account the input saturation characteristics. • Two prescribed performance congestion control algorithms are designed.
