Abstract:
A manner of managing congestion in a data-traffic network. In one embodiment a network node such as a bridge, switch, or router includes an AQM having a PI controller configured to calculate p′ using the difference between Q and a Target Q, wherein p′ is p 0.5  and p is the probability that a received packet will be dropped or marked, and some drop decision functions are configured to indicate that the node should drop a received packet by comparing p′ to two random values. A marking decision function may also be present and configured to indicate that the node should mark a received packet by comparing p′ to one random value. A congestion control classifier, which is in some embodiments an ECN classifier, is also present to classify a received packet and facilitate making the proper dropping or marking decision.

Claim (Index 13):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores computer readable instructions, which when executed by at least one processor implement a method for congestion management, the method comprising:\n receiving data packets; enqueuing at least a portion of received packets; determining whether to apply a drop decision to a received packet; determining, if applying a drop decision, whether to drop the received packet applying a squared drop decision, wherein the squared drop decision comprises generating at least one random value and making the drop determination when a drop probability is larger than the at least one generated random value and a second random value; dropping a received packet for which a drop determination has been made; and forwarding from the network node, packets that have been received and not dropped.
