چکیده

The Internet today carries traffic for applications with a wide range of delay and throughput requirements. Traditional applications such as FTP and E-mail can tolerate high delays due to long router queues in exchange for high throughput. Emerging applications such as IP telephony, video conferencing and networked games, on the other hand, have have more stringent delay constraints than loss constraints, leaving end-to-end delay and delay jitter as their major impediment to acceptable quality. Thus, interactive multimedia applications often prefer smaller queues in Internet routers, even if this means higher losses and lower throughput. Unfortunately, current Internet routers do not provide a Quality of Service (QoS)1 adapted to the current traffic mix. Most Active Queue Management (AQM) techniques are either heavy-weight by requiring significant architectural changes or focus on providing higher throughput at the router without much consideration for queuing delays. RED [4], probably the best-known AQM mechanism, attempts to keep the average queue size at the router low while keeping throughput high. Adaptive RED (ARED) [2] adjusts the RED operating parameters to accommodate a wider range of traffic loads. However, both RED and ARED provide equal treatment to incoming traffic and tend to be tuned for high throughput without any consideration for the traversing applications’ aggregate delay requirements. By requiring per flow signaling and reservations via RSVP by all routers on the connection path, IntServ provides per flow QoS guarantees. However, the complexity of the RSVP signaling and the per flow soft state required at each router means that IntServ does not scale well with number of flows. DiffServ approaches, such as Assured Forwarding (AF) and Expedited Forwarding (EF), provide differentiated service to traffic aggregates. However, they require compli-

Traffic Sensitive Active Queue Management for Improved Quality of Service

The Internet, traditionally FTP, e-mail and Web traffic, is increasingly supporting emerging applications such as IP telephony, video conferencing and online games. These new genres of applications have different requirements in terms of throughput and delay than traditional applications. For example, interactive multimedia applications, unlike traditional applications, have more stringent dela...

Performance Improvement by Dynamic Queue Management in Mobile Ad hoc Network

Mobile Ad hoc network [MANET] consists of mobile nodes without any fixed infrastructure, communicating through wireless medium. In MANET, Congestion occurs in any intermediate nodes when data packets travel from source to destination and they incur higher packet loss rate and long delay, which cause the degradations in performance of a network. Congestion can be controlled by Active Queue Manag...

An Improvement over Random Early Detection Algorithm: A Self-Tuning Approach

Random Early Detection (RED) is one of the most commonly used Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms that is recommended by IETF for deployment in the network. Although RED provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of RED is highly sensitive to the RED parameters setting. As network condition varies largely, setting RED's parameters with fixed ...

MRED: An Algorithm to Insure High QoS in IP Networks

Abstract—Today’s computer networks support only best-effort service, yet future packet networks will have to support realtime communication services that allow clients to transport information with performance guarantees expressed in terms of delay, delay jitter throughput, and loss rate. Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm is one of the scheduling mechanisms used in IP network. RED is an a...
