An active queue management (AQM) scheme is proposed to reduce throughput bias for UDP flows over TCP. It is argued that existing AQM methods partially involve a flow-indifferent factor that does not take into account of bandwidth usage of flows when they determine packet drop, thus resulting in unfairness. The proposed scheme replaces the flow-indifferent part with a flow-wise one by approximating per-flow fair share, which permits the discrimination of unresponsive flows. Since it is a stateless process, it avoids the overhead of tracking the statistics of flows and implementation is simple. A performance evaluation shows that it effectively limits the bandwidth of unresponsive flows to their fair share of bandwidth. In addition, it can also encourage RTT-fairness among TCP flows with different delays.

AB - An active queue management (AQM) scheme is proposed to reduce throughput bias for UDP flows over TCP. It is argued that existing AQM methods partially involve a flow-indifferent factor that does not take into account of bandwidth usage of flows when they determine packet drop, thus resulting in unfairness. The proposed scheme replaces the flow-indifferent part with a flow-wise one by approximating per-flow fair share, which permits the discrimination of unresponsive flows. Since it is a stateless process, it avoids the overhead of tracking the statistics of flows and implementation is simple. A performance evaluation shows that it effectively limits the bandwidth of unresponsive flows to their fair share of bandwidth. In addition, it can also encourage RTT-fairness among TCP flows with different delays.
