In the framework of computational experiments based on a multicommodity flow model, monopoly and limit control modes are investigated. Relative multicriteria estimates of network capacity utilization are constructed for various dispatcher rules for the transmission of internodal flows. To analyze the efficiency of control strategies and resource distribution, the indicators characterizing the load on all edges of the network are considered component-wise. The comparison is based on the vectors of minimum unit costs and maximum allowable flow rates for each pair of communicating nodes. Networks with diverse structural characteristics and the same total capacity are studied. Multicriteria estimates are developed to enable the analysis of changes in unit transmission costs for each node pair and to compare components of resource distribution vectors under different control approaches. The results of the computational experiments are illustrated with specialized diagrams.
