Abstract:In this work, we devise and study the performance of a new active queue management mechanism for Web traffic to more intelligently select packets to drop incipient of network congestion. The proposed mechanism specifically targets short-lived or fragile flows (e.g., most HTTP flows) to keep link utilization high while reducing the HTTP response time. The goal of the proposed active queue management scheme is to protect new TCP flows and TCP flows that have packet dropped recently from potential network congest… Show more
