Integrated performance evaluating criteria for network traffic control

Abstract

The performance-evaluating criterion is one of the most important issues for the design of network traffic control strategy and algorithms. The design will be varied with the evaluating criterion. Because the network traffic control strategy has multiple performance objects, how to reach multiple objects simultaneously is one difficult problem. This paper provides a set of integrated performance evaluating criteria from the network traffic control model, and the criteria integrates several objects, such as the network performance, user's QoS requirement and system fairness. Then it is discussed and analyzed in details. Moreover, the integrated performance evaluating criteria can be applied to performance evaluation and improvement in network traffic control strategy and algorithms.
