Item Modeling discrete-time analytical models based on random early detection : exponential and linear(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2015) Abdel-Jaber, Hussein; Thabtah, Fadi; Woodward, MikeCongestion control is among primary topics in computer network in which random early detection (RED) method is one of its common techniques. Nevertheless, RED suffers from drawbacks in particular when its "average queue length" is set below the buffer's "minimum threshold" position which makes the router buffer quickly overflow. To deal with this issue, this paper proposes two discrete-time queue analytical models that aim to utilize an instant queue length parameter as a congestion measure. This assigns mean queue length (mql) and average queueing delay smaller values than those for RED and eventually reduces buffers overflow. A comparison between RED and the proposed analytical models was conducted to identify the model that offers better performance. The proposed models outperform the classic RED in regards to mql and average queueing delay measures when congestion exists. This work also compares one of the proposed models (RED-Linear) with another analytical model named threshold-based linear reduction of arrival rate (TLRAR). The results of the mql, average queueing delay and the probability of packet loss for TLRAR are deteriorated when heavy congestion occurs, whereas, the results of our RED-Linear were not impacted and this shows superiority of our model. © 2015 World Scientific Publishing Company.
