FRED-fair random early detection algorithm for TCP over ATM networks

摘要

The authors present the FRED (fair random early detection) algorithm as a congestion control mechanism for TCP over ATM networks. The FRED algorithm enhances the RED gateway algorithm, by using the fact that TCP connections should be allocated buffer space in proportion to their bandwidth-delay products. Through simulation, the effectiveness of the proposed FRED algorithm is shown as compared with the drop-tail and the original RED algorithms.
