Abstract: Abstract The random early detection active queue management (AQM) scheme uses the average queue size to calculate the dropping probability in terms of minimum and maximum thresholds. The effect of heavy load enhances the frequency of crossing the maximum threshold value resulting in frequent dropping of the packets. An adaptive queue management with random dropping algorithm is proposed which incorporates information not just about the average queue size but also the rate of change of the same. Introducing an adaptively changing threshold level that falls in between lower and upper thresholds, our algorithm demonstrates that these additional features significantly improve the system performance in terms of throughput, average queue size, utilization and queuing delay in relation to the existing AQM algorithms.
