The congestion control problem in a single node network has been solved by the nonlinearfeedback control method,which has been proven to be effective and robust for different router’s queuesize.However,these control models are based on the single layer network architecture,and the sendersand receivers are directly connected by one pair of routers.With the network architecture being moreand more complex,it is a serious problem how to cooperate many routers working in the multilayernetwork simultaneously.In this paper,an effective Active Queue Management(AQM)scheme toguarantee the stability by the nonlinear control of imposing some restrictions on AQM parameter inmultilayer network is proposed.The nonlinear control can rely on some heuristics and network trafficcontrollers that appear to be highly correlated with the multilayer network status.The proposedmethod is based on the improved classical Random Early Detection(RED)differential equation and atheorem for network congestion control.The theorem proposed in the paper proved that the stability ofthe fluid model can effectively ensure the convergence of the average rate to its equilibrium pointthrough many routers in multilayer network.Moreover,when the network capacity is larger,theproposed scheme can still approach to the fullest extensibility of utilization and ensure the stability ofthe fluid model.The paper reveals the reasons of congestion control in multilayer network,provides atheorem for avoiding network congestion,and gives simulations to verify the results.
