“…The linearization of the above model around an operating point ( w 0 , q 0 , p 0 ) yields in which δw = w − w 0 , δq = q − q 0 and operating point is and , which is obtained by setting . Therefore, the round trip delay τ ( t ) can be written as the sum of a fixed delay and a time varying delay, which depends on the queue length as below.…”
