Steady State Analysis of the RED Gateway: Stability, Transient Behavior, and Parameter Setting

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Several gateway-based congestion control mechanisms have been proposed to support an end-to-end congestion control mechanism of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). One of promising gateway-based congestion control mechanisms is a RED (Random Early Detection) gateway. Although effectiveness of the RED gateway is fully dependent on a choice of control parameters, it has not been fully investigated how to configure its control parameters. This paper analyzes the steady state behavior of the RED gateway by explicitly modeling the congestion control mechanism of TCP. It first derives the equilibrium values of the TCP window size and the buffer occupancy of the RED gateway.
