RED with dynamic thresholds for improved fairness

摘要

We investigate the fair bandwidth sharing among responsive and unresponsive traffic flows. When these flows compete for the same output link in a router, unresponsive flows tend to occupy more than their fair share of the link capacity. We propose a new active queue management algorithm named Random Early Detection with Dynamic Thresholds (RED-DT) that dynamically adapts queue parameters to achieve a more fair distribution of the link capacity.
