Abstract

This paper presents a system theoretic approach to, and performanceanalysis of improved congestion control methods i.e. the RED(Random Early Detection)-like AQM (Active Queue Management)algorithms. We revisit the principles of Fuzzy-RED and its linearcounterparts and examine their advantages and possibleshortcomings from a control theoretical point of view. Theperformance comparisons are based on extensive simulations. Themajor interest is on the requirement of a nonlinear control law.
