Double Trreshold-based Early Message Discarding(DTEMD) Policy in High-speed Networks

In this paper, a new selective discarding policy called double threshold-based early meassage(DTEMD) policy is present. In the DTEMD policy, two thresholds are defined through which the system can adapt to the current load without changing its operation modes too often as EMD[1] policy does. Moreover the policy gets high utility of the buffer and so improves the system performance. By adopting a new performance measure "goodput", analysis results show a remarkable performance improvement is obtained when the improved discarding policy is applied.
