Virtual rate control algorithm for active queue management in TCP networks

摘要

A virtual rate control (VRC) algorithm for active queue management (AQM) to regulate the queue length with small variation and to achieve high utilisation with small packet loss is proposed. Through ns simulations, the effectiveness of the proposed VRC algorithm as compared with several well-known AQM schemes such as random early detection (RED), random exponential marking (REM), and adaptive virtual queue (AVQ) algorithms is shown.
