Abstract
Traffic congestion degrades not only the user-perceived Quality-of-Service (QoS), such as leading to high packet loss rates, low throughput, and increased delays, but also causes excessive energy consumption in energy-sensitive systems (e.g., wireless sensor networks). A simple way to detect congestion is to monitor and measure queue length in network nodes or routers. This paper develops an analytical performance model for a finite capacity queueing system with an enhanced Random Early Detection (RED) congestion control scheme based on the instantaneous queue length in the presence of differentiated classes of bursty traffic. The aggregate traffic is captured by the superposition of 2-state Markov Modulated Poisson Processes (MMPP). The individual threshold is assigned to each traffic class in order to differentially control traffic injection rate. The accuracy of this model is verified by comparing the analytical results against those obtained from simulation experiments. The model is adopted to investigate the effects of traffic burstiness and system capacity on the performance of the congestion control scheme.
