Abstract
Active Queue Management schemes have vastly improved performance over traditional Drop-Tail queues. Yet these schemes cannot avoid starvation of TCP sources in the presence of misbehaving flows that monopolize the link. This paper presents PQM, a queue management scheme that is simple, robust and protective of TCP conformant flows. It comprises two key procedures, identification and regulation, designed to be insensitive to packet lengths. Simulation results are presented that confirm the superior performance of PQM compared to both RED and CHOKe.
