Abstract
Random early detection (RED) is expected to eliminate global synchronization by random active packet drop. Its packet drop probability is decided by the maximum packet drop probability in its drop function, buffer thresholds, and average queue length. It has been observed that for a large number of connections, a small value of the maximum packet drop probability may not eliminate global synchronization. Furthermore, since RED uses four parameters to regulate its performance, it is necessary to relate its maximum drop probability with those parameters. The objective of this paper is to develop a framework for the bounds of the maximum drop probability of RED, based on TCP channel model and traffic characteristics. The value of the maximum drop probability obtained by our model will make RED queue achieve its targeted goals.
