Active queue management (AQM) is a group of FIFO based queue management mechanisms in a router to support end-to-end congestion control in the Internet. Until random early detection (RED) was proposed by the internet engineering task force (IETF) for deploying[1], FIFO based tail drop (TD) was the only AQM mechanism used in the network. Two main functions are used in AQM: one is the congestion ...

Active Queue Management (AQM) based on nonlinear difference equations has been proposed to solve the end-to-end TCP network congestion problem recently. The proposed AQM scheme can guarantee the stability of the multiple bottleneck network by nonlinear control for dropping probability of the routers. Nonlinear control often relies on some heuristics and network traffic controllers that appear t...

In active queue management (AQM), core routers signal transmission control protocol (TCP) sources with the objective of managing queue utilization and delay. It is essentially a feedback control problem. Based on a recently developed dynamic model of TCPs congestion-avoidance mode, this paper does three things. First, it relates key network parameters such as the number of TCP sessions, link ca...

Abstract: We propose a wavelet neural network (WNN) control method for active queue management (AQM) in an end-to-end TCP network, which is trained by adaptive learning rates (ALRs). In the TCP network, AQM is important to regulate the queue length by passing or dropping the packets at the intermediate routers. RED, PI, and PID algorithms have been used for AQM. But these algorithms show weakne...

Active Queue Management (AQM) takes a trade-off between link utilization and delay experienced by data packets. From control point of view, it is rational to regard AQM as a typical regulation system. In this paper, a new fuzzy adaptive second order sliding mode controller is designed for the objective of AQM. In the proposed method, the sliding parameter is adapted using fuzzy logic. Some comp...

In this paper, we formulate the AQM (Active Queue Management) design problem for stabilizing a given TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) as state-space models. First, we propose a PD-type (Proportional-Derivative) control structure and by applying integral control action, a PID-type (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control structure that is a uni ed AQM framework. Second, we compensate for de...

We present a non-equilibrium analysis and control approach for the Active Queue Management (AQM) problem in communication networks. Using simplified fluid models, we carry out a bifurcation study of the complex dynamic queue behavior to show that non-equilibrium methods are essential for analysis and optimization in the AQM problem. We investigate an ergodic theoretic framework for stochastic m...

In recent years, AQM (Active Queue Management) mechanisms, which control the number of packets in the router’s buffer by randomly discarding an arriving packet, have been actively studied. In past studies, most of AQM mechanisms have been designed by taking account of a single router; i.e., few AQM mechanisms have been designed by taking account of multiple routers in the network. In a tandem n...

In this paper, we formulate the AQM (Active Queue Management) design problem for stabilizing a given TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) as state-space models. Thereby, we show that PD-type (Proportional-Derivative) AQM is a natural state-feedback control structure to stabilize the given TCP for the first time in the networking literature to our knowledge and by applying integral control action...
