Resource Allocation with Delay QoS

This paper primarily addresses how available bandwidth should be optimally distributed among competing streams of elastic traffic like TCP traffic while taking Quality-of-Service (QoS) and delay into consideration. Network Utility Maximization (NUM) in (1), a congestion control algorithm, allows users to set for an optimum network-wide rate allocation through their utility. By incorporating delay into utility function, users can accommodate for QoS requirements.
