RED With Dynamic Thresholds for Improved Fairness
Overview This paper investigates the fair bandwidth sharing among responsive and unresponsive traffic flows. When these flows compete for the same output link in a router, unresponsive flows tend to occupy more than their fair share of the link capacity. The paper proposes a new active queue management algorithm named Random Early Detection with Dynamic Thresholds (RED-DT) that dynamically adapts queue parameters to achieve a more fair distribution of the link capacity. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic represents vast majority of today's Internet traffic. TCP's congestion avoidance algorithm adapts sending rate based on congestion conditions in the network. Protocols having this property are called responsive. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is the most commonly used protocol for real-time services.
