Abstract

We performed a non-stationary analysis of a class of buffer management schemes for TCP/IP networks, in which the arriving packets were rejected randomly, with probability depending on the queue length. In particular, we derived formulas for the packet waiting time (queuing delay) and the intensity of packet losses as functions of time. These results allow us to observe how the evolution of the waiting time and losses depend on initial conditions (e.g., the full buffer) and system parameters (e.g., dropping probabilities, load, packet size distribution). As side results, the stationary waiting time and packet loss probability were obtained. Numerical examples demonstrate applicability of the theoretical results.
