In this manuscript the system of nonlinear delay differential equations $\dot{x}_i(t) =\sum\limits_{j =1}^{n}\sum\limits_{\ell =1}^{n_0}α_{ij\ell} (t) h_{ij}(x_j(t-τ_{ij\ell}(t)))$$-β_i(t)f_i(x_i(t))+ρ_i(t)$, $t≥0$, $1≤i ≤n$ is considered. Sufficient conditions are established for the uniform permanence of the positive solutions of the system. In several particular cases, explicit formulas are given for the estimates of the upper and lower limit of the solutions. In a special case, the asymptotic equivalence of the solutions is investigated.

Keywords: Delay differential equations, positive solutions, persistence, permanence, asymptotic behavior.
