Abstract

The simulation of communication networks using a continuous-state, or fluid modeling approach, has shown to be very efficient for a wide range of performance evaluation scenarios. In this paper we present a fluid model of the RED active queue management algorithm for FluidSim, a simulation tool based on the fluid paradigm. We compare the behavior and efficiency of our model against the results provided by NS, a well known packet-based network simulator. The proposed model does capture RED's characteristics with acceptable precision providing good accelerations in typical network evaluation configurations.
