Impact of bandwidth-delay product and non-responsive flows on the performance of queue management schemes

In this paper, we study the impact-of bandwidth-delay products and non-responsive flows on queue management schemes. Our focus is to understand the aggregate performance of various classes of traffic under different queue management schemes. Our work is motivated by the expected trends of increasing link capacities and increasing amounts of non-responsive traffic. In this paper, the impact on the performance of RED, RED with ECN enabled and droptail routers are investigated. Our study considers the aggregate bandwidth of different classes of traffic and the delays observed at the router.
