    On the effectiveness of CoDel for active queue management
    (2013) Raghuvanshi, D.M.; Annappa, B.; Tahiliani, M.P.
    Internet in the present scenario has become a gigantic source of information. There has been a tremendous rise in the variety of Internet applications, with each application demanding a specific performance criteria to be satisfied. Routers presently use Passive Queue Management (PQM) mechanisms and hence, merely have any control over the queue occupancy. Therefore, there has been an increased interest in exploring Active Queue Management (AQM) in Internet routers so as to reduce the queue latency and meet the demands of time sensitive applications. In this paper, we mainly focus on analyzing the effectiveness of a recently proposed AQM mechanism called Controlled Delay (CoDel). We study the effectiveness of CoDel by carrying out simulations in ns-2 and comparing its performance with existing AQM mechanisms in variety of Internet scenarios. Based on the simulation results obtained, we discuss the advantages and shortcomings of CoDel in terms of bottleneck link utilization, mean queue length and packet drop rate. © 2013 IEEE.

    Analysis of sfqCoDel for Active Queue Management
    (IEEE Computer Society help@computer.org, 2014) Rao, V.P.; Tahiliani, M.P.; Shenoy, U.K.K.
    The availability of cheaper and high capacity Random Access Memory (RAM) has resulted in the growth of buffer size in all the computing devices. This aberrant increase of buffer capacity in network devices has resulted into high latency, leading to reduced throughput; thus decreasing the tendency of absorbing spontaneous burst of traffic. The requirement for Active Queue Management (AQM) has been evident for decades. These solutions require various parameter configuration and are dependent on a particular network condition to work efficiently. Hence an algorithm which is simple, efficient, does not require setting of parameters and works seamlessly irrespective of the network condition is required. Even though Controlled Delay (CoDel) is parameterless and adapts to dynamically changing link rates with no negative impact on utilization, it deviates from its primary purpose of reducing congestion when there is an increase in RTT and when congestion level varies abruptly. As a consequence, a variant of CoDel called Stochastic Fair Queue CoDel (sfqCoDel) is simulated and compared. The Stochastic Fair Queue CoDel proactively drops packets which occupy reasonably larger bandwidth as compared to CoDel, which proactively drops packet irrespective of the bandwidth consumption by packets. This paper aims to perform a comprehensive analysis of Stochastic Fair Queue CoDel for Active Queue Management. A comparison is also carried out between sfqCoDel with CoDel. The sfqCoDel appears to be much better than CoDel in certain areas where CoDel fails to perform well. © 2014 IEEE.

    Performance evaluation of CoDel for active queue management in wired-cum-wireless networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Jain, T.; Annappa, B.; Tahiliani, M.P.
    Internet is the major source of information today and its usage is increasing at an alarming rate. A wide variety of data travels over the Internet to cater the needs of end users. This has eventually led to heavy congestion in the network which in turn, worsens the user perceived latency. Internet routers are the main agents that detect congestion prior to end hosts. Traditional router incorporates Passive Queue Management (PQM) strategies which fail to control congestion. Moreover, PQM has several drawbacks which drew the attention of researchers towards the evolution of Active Queue Management (AQM). AQMs are designed to effectively avoid congestion at network routers. AQM apparently became very popular for wired networks, but there are very few researches to find their effectiveness over wireless networks. In this paper we evaluate the effectiveness of a recently proposed AQM mechanism called Controlled Delay (CoDel) in wired-cum-wireless networks. Simulations are carried out by using ns-2 and CoDel's performance is compared with that of Random Early Detection (RED) and Droptail. © 2014 IEEE.
