Abstract: Abstract Contemporary networks are distributed, complex, and heterogeneous. Ensuring an efficient, fair, and incentive-compatible allocation of bandwidth among their users constitutes a challenging and multi-faceted research problem. This chapter presents three control and game-theoretic approaches that address rate control problems from different perspectives. First, a noncooperative rate control game focusing on incentive compatibility issues is formulated. Secondly, a primal-dual algorithm incorporating queue dynamics and maximizing a global objective is considered. Finally, a robust rate control framework is presented. For each scheme, the respective equilibrium, stability, and robustness properties are rigorously analyzed and discussed.
