Active Queue Management Controller for the High Speed TCP Protocol

This paper introduces the HSTCP-H2 AQM controller, an optimal AQM controller for networks which employ the HSTCP protocol as their transport protocol. The synthesis of the controller uses a non-rational approach, in which stability and performance objectives are completely expressed as Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Results, derived via simulation, show the advantages of adopting HSTCP-H2 rather than RED in high capacity networks.
