9 /* Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm.
10 =======================================
12 Source: Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson, "Random Early Detection Gateways
13 for Congestion Avoidance", 1993, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
15 This file codes a "divisionless" version of RED algorithm
16 as written down in Fig.17 of the paper.
18 Short description.
19 ------------------
21 When a new packet arrives we calculate the average queue length:
23 avg = (1-W)*avg + W*current_queue_len,
25 W is the filter time constant (chosen as 2^(-Wlog)), it controls
26 the inertia of the algorithm. To allow larger bursts, W should be
27 decreased.
29 if (avg > th_max) -> packet marked (dropped).
30 if (avg < th_min) -> packet passes.
31 if (th_min < avg < th_max) we calculate probability:
33 Pb = max_P * (avg - th_min)/(th_max-th_min)
35 and mark (drop) packet with this probability.
36 Pb changes from 0 (at avg==th_min) to max_P (avg==th_max).
37 max_P should be small (not 1), usually 0.01..0.02 is good value.
39 max_P is chosen as a number, so that max_P/(th_max-th_min)
40 is a negative power of two in order arithmetics to contain
41 only shifts.
44 Parameters, settable by user:
45 -----------------------------
47 qth_min - bytes (should be < qth_max/2)
48 qth_max - bytes (should be at least 2*qth_min and less limit)
49 Wlog - bits (<32) log(1/W).
50 Plog - bits (<32)
52 Plog is related to max_P by formula:
54 max_P = (qth_max-qth_min)/2^Plog;
56 F.e. if qth_max=128K and qth_min=32K, then Plog=22
57 corresponds to max_P=0.02
59 Scell_log
60 Stab
62 Lookup table for log((1-W)^(t/t_ave).
65 NOTES:
67 Upper bound on W.
68 -----------------
70 If you want to allow bursts of L packets of size S,
71 you should choose W:
73 L + 1 - th_min/S < (1-(1-W)^L)/W
75 th_min/S = 32 th_min/S = 4

251 OK. qR is random number in the interval 0..Rmask
252 i.e. 0..(2^Plog). If we used floating point
253 arithmetics, it would be: (2^Plog)*rnd_num,
254 where rnd_num is less 1.
256 Taking into account, that qavg have fixed
257 point at Wlog, and Plog is related to max_P by
258 max_P = (qth_max-qth_min)/2^Plog; two lines
259 below have the following floating point equivalent:
261 max_P*(qavg - qth_min)/(qth_max-qth_min) < rnd/qcount
