SUMMARY
The low pass filter (LPF) algorithm, which is used to calculate the average queue length in the random
early detection (RED) algorithm, results in a poor response time when RED recovers from congestion. In
this paper, we propose a new algorithm, called low pass filter/over drop avoidance (LPF/ODA), to improve
the response time of RED. LPF/ODA is based on reducing the time required by RED to recover from
long-term congestion. Simulation results have been used to show that the proposed LPF/ODA algorithm
significantly improves the response time, throughput and delay of RED gateways. Copyright # 2002 John
