A Robust Algorithm in Active Queue Management

A variable structure based control scheme was proposed for Active Queue Management （AQM） by using sliding model algorithm and reach law method. This approach aims to address the tradeoff between good performance and robustness with respect to the uncertainties of the round-trip time and the number of active connections. Ns simulations results show that the proposed design significantly outperforms the peer AQM schemes in terms of fluctuation in the queue length, packet throughput, and loss ratio. The conclusion is that proposed scheme is in favor of the achievement to AQM objectives due to its good transient and steady performance.
