Abstract
Due to the best-effort nature of the Internet, delay and delay jitter observed by a session always fluctuate, even if it generates CBR (Constant Bit Rate) traffic. Buffering at a host and packet scheduling at routers would solve the problem to some extent, but they require prior knowledge of delay variation and traffic characteristics. In this paper, we propose a novel rate control mechanism to achieve and maintain the target delay in the dynamically changing environment. Our proposal does not filter or conceal fluctuation, but it exploits fluctuation to accomplish the goal by using the attractor perturbation model derived from biological behavior. Through simulation experiments, we confirmed that our proposal could achieve and maintain the target delay when background traffic changed.
