Popis: Active Queue Management (AQM) has been used in routers for early detection of traffic congestion at the bottleneck link. In AQM, packets can be drop before the buffer becomes full, based on many different parameters or conditions. Many algorithms have been proposed to efficiently control the congestion in the network. The scope of this paper is to analyze the most recent and well-known AQM algorithms and evaluate their performance under heavy hybrid traffic load (TCP and UDP flows), using NS-3 network simulator. For the comparative analysis, various metrics are taken into account, including queue length, jitter, end to end delay, packet delivery ratio, and page load time. Results show that one of AQM algorithms can also be used for the purpose of QoS.
