Abstract

In the present Internet, due to the popularity of AQM techniques, great effort is being devoting to analyzing their performance and optimizing their parameters. In this perspective the target of the paper is to provide an analytical framework to evaluate the performance of an AQM router loaded by any kind of traffic which can be modeled with a Markov arrival process. In order for complexity of the model to be independent of the queue size, the model uses a fluid-flow approach. In the paper, just to provide an example of application, we will consider RED routers. After the model definition, with the aim of demonstrating the correctness of the proposed methodology, the case of a RED buffer loaded by a constant bit-rate (CBR) source has been studied. In this particular case, where the classical theory of probability can be applied, the solution of the problem is derived, verifying that obtained analytical equations coincide with those obtained in the general case.
