Modeling conflict processes on the internet

Abstract

This paper deals with conflict control models of dataflows on the Internet. The problem is considered, its urgency is emphasized, and current approaches to solving it are described. For networks with varying dataflows and conflicting users (denial-of-service attacks), a new approach to the analysis based on conflict-control models is proposed. A control model for a class of networks with a fixed window is developed and the existence of a time-optimal solution is shown. Data loss conditions are established and the system stability against some types of attacks is found.
