He is also the co-inventor of the Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease ([[AIMD]]) principle[13] used for traffic management in computer networks and Jain’s fairness Index[14].
 
His work on timeout based [[congestion control]][15] influenced the design of the [[slow start]] algorithm[16] in [[TCP/IP]] networks
 
 
▲== Publications ==
He is author of four books. His Ph.D. thesis entitled "Control-Theoretic Formulation of Operating Systems Resource Management” was published by Garland Publishing Company in its “Outstanding Dissertations in Computer Sciences Series[17]" in 1979. His second book “The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis[18]” published by [[Wiley Interscience]] won the 1991 ''Best Advanced How-to Book, Systems'' award from [[Computer Press Association]]. His third book "FDDI Handbook: High-Speed Networking with Fiber and Other Media" was published in 1994 by Addison Wesley. His fourth book entitled "High-Performance TCP/IP Networking[19]" was published by Prentice Hall in 2003.
