TCP-AQM Algorithms which combat the computer networks' congestion
Stefan Stancescu, Adrian-Alexandru Luca, Alexandru Caraivan · 2014
The best congestion control occurs on when TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and AQM (Active Queue Management) algorithms work together. Most exploited AQM algorithm is RED (Random Early Detection) known under a set of flavors. RED only algorithms have performances depending on the proper setting of cache/queue parameters. As all RED algorithms depend on the average value of the tail and tend to react somehow late to events occurring in network, especially when congestion is inevitable, it should be developed a more aggressive alternative within an imminent congestion. We propose a modification of the function of probability of RED algorithm to a sigmoid form, in view to calculate the chance of throwing the package.
