More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a queue based multi-level Active Queue Management with drop precedence differentiation method and apparatus which uses queue size information for congestion control. The method provides for a lower complexity in parameter configuration and greater ease of configuration over a wide range of network conditions. A key advantage is a greater ability to maintain stabilized network queues, thereby minimizing the occurrences of queue overflows and underflows, and providing high system utilization.
