Over the last decade numerous Active Queue Management
(AQM) schemes have been proposed in the literature.
Many of these studies have been directed towards improving
congestion control in best-effort networks. However, there
has been a notable lack of standardised performance evaluation
of AQM schemes. A rigorous study of the influence
of parameterisation on specific schemes and the establishment
of common comparison criteria is essential for objective
evaluation of the different approaches.
A framework for the detailed evaluation of AQMschemes
is described in this paper. This provides a deceptively simple
user interface whilst maximally exploiting relevant features
of the NS2 simulator. Traffic models and network
topologies are carefully chosen to characterise the target
simulation environment. The credibility of the results obtained
is enhanced by vigilant treatment of the simulation
data. The impact of AQM schemes on global network performance
is assessed using five carefully selected metrics.
Thus, a comprehensive evaluation of AQM schemes may be
achieved using the proposed framework.
