Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel active queue management (AQM) algorithm called Neuron Control RED (NC-RED) that overcomes the drawbacks of the original RED. NC-RED uses a neuron controller to adaptively adjust the maximum drop probability to stabilize the average queue length around the target queue length. We demonstrate by simulations that NC-RED maintains stable operation independent of traffic loading, round trip propagation delay, and bottleneck capacity. We also demonstrate that NC-RED is robust to non-responsive UDP traffic and HTTP traffic, and it is effective for networks with multiple bottlenecks. Comparison with other well-known AQM algorithms like PI, REM and ARED demonstrates ..
