ABSTRACT
Dynamics of congestion pricing

We consider the use of congestion pricing as a means for
achieving a fair and efficient sharing of bandwidth among users in
communication networks. We propose a model for rate adaptation by
users in response to price information. We show for this model
that the system converges to a bandwidth allocation that is optimal
for each individual user. We also establish the rate of convergence.
