The proportional delay is a time-varying unbounded delay which is different from the constant delay, bounded time-varying delay and distributed delay.

With the aid of Brouwer fixed point theorem and constructing the delay differential inequality, we obtain some delay-independent and delay-dependent sufficient conditions to ensure the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of equilibrium of the network.
