Abstract(in English) We have proposed the diffusion-type flow control mechanism as a solution of severely time-sensitive flow control required for high-speed networks. In this mechanism, the nodes in a network immediately handle their local traffic flows themselves, based only on the information they are aware of, by using of predetermined rules. In addition, the implementation of decision-making at each node can lead to optimum performance for the whole network. In the current IP based networks, window-based end-to-end flow control including TCP is widely used. However, end-to-end control cannot be applied to decision-making in a time-scale shorter than the round-trip delay, since end hosts provide the flow control. In this paper, we investigate the performance of diffusion-type flow control and TCP by using an open network model for evaluation. Then, we show that diffusion-type flow control can coexist with TCP and can be complementary to each other. In addition, we show that a combination of both controls realizes high network performance. In our evaluation, we use AIMD based flow control in stead of full TCP for simplicity.
