چکیده

In this work, we investigate mechanisms for Internet congestion control in general, and Random Early Detection (RED) in particular. We first study the current proposals for RED implementation and identify several structural problems such as producing large traffic oscillations and introducing unnecessary overhead in the fast path forwarding. We model RED as a feedback control system and we discover fundamental laws governing the traffic dynamics in TCP/IP networks. Based on this understanding, we derive a set of recommendations for the architecture and implementation of congestion control modules in routers, such as RED.

An Improvement over Random Early Detection Algorithm: A Self-Tuning Approach

Random Early Detection (RED) is one of the most commonly used Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms that is recommended by IETF for deployment in the network. Although RED provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of RED is highly sensitive to the RED parameters setting. As network condition varies largely, setting RED's parameters with fixed ...

Simulation Analysis of Active Queue Management for Internet Congestion Control

In order to prevent congestion, the current internet uses endto-end congestion control protocol like TCP. In congestion control issues, queue management employed by router has been utmost important. Active queue management (AQM) has been proposed as a router-based mechanism for early detection of congestion inside the network. AQM scheme helps for end-to-end congestion control by having routers...
