Abstract
We have previously proposed a diffusion-type flow control mechanism as a solution for severely time-sensitive flow control required for high-speed networks. In this mechanism, each node in a network manages its local traffic flow on the basis of only the local information directly available to it, by using predetermined rules. In addition, the implementation of decision-making at each node can lead to optimal performance for the whole network. Our previous studies show that our flow control mechanism with certain parameter settings works well in high-speed networks. However, to apply this mechanism to actual networks, it is necessary to clarify how to design a parameter in our control mechanism. In this paper, we investigate the range of the parameter and derive its optimal value enabling the diffusion-type flow control to work effectively.
