Congestion Control in High Speed Networks Using Fuzzy Logic Control

The tremendous growth of the internet and the advances of computer technology have been pushing forward computer networks for high speed and broad bandwidth. Congestion, being a non-linear and dynamic problem requires robust, possibly intelligent, control methodologies to obtain satisfactory performance. Fuzzy logic helps to increase throughput, reduction in packet drop and delays. In this paper, we illustrate the power of the methodology by the successful application of fuzzy based congestion control in the two diverse networking technologies of ATM and TCP/IP.
