Abstract

One weakness of the RED algorithm typical of routers is that at any given time, it imposes the same loss probability on all flows, regardless of their QoS. In this paper, we propose an improved packet discard algorithm based on RED for real-time multimedia service, which does its endeavor to avoid dropping packets from the same flow continuously in terms of instantaneous loss rate and short-time average loss rate. It traces the concerned flow’s state whenever every packet’s arrival and then dynamically adjusts the packet drops to achieve a given loss rate. When network is congested, it drops all packets of certain invalid flows mandatorily to avoid a majority of applications being invalidated simultaneously because of packet loss. Our evaluation results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides better QoS for real-time multimedia service, whether network is congested or not.
