Random Early Detection (RED) Gateways (1)
Notification is implicit
just drop the packet (TCP will timeout)
could make explicit by marking the packet
Early random drop
rather than wait for queue to become full, drop each arriving packet with some drop probability whenever the queue length exceeds some drop level
RED: fills in the details
compute average queue length
AvgLen=(1-Weight)*AvgLen+Weight*SampleLen
0 < Weight < 1 (usually 0.002)
SampleLen is queue length each time a packet arrives
