Congestion in a network or internet creates obvious problems for the end system: reduced availability and throughput and lengthened response times. When a packet is dropped before it reaches its destination, all of the resources it has consumed in transit are wasted. Improving the congestion control and queue management algorithms in the Internet has been one of the most active areas of researc...

Congestion is an important issue which researchers focus on in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) network environment. To keep the stability of the whole network, congestion control algorithms have been extensively studied. Queue management method employed by the routers is one of the important issues in the congestion control study. Active queue management (AQM) has been proposed as a rou...

Active networking is a general approach to incorporating general-purpose computational capabilities within the communications infrastructure of data networks. This paper studies the key design issues that must be resolved to allow active networking to become a mainstream technology.
