Abstract: In this paper we present a study on mutual interactions between queue management algorithms implemented in Internet routers. The aim of this research was to detect possible issues connected with deployment of the active queue management (AQM) algorithms in the Internet. For that purpose, we simulated a network with four routers and checked its performance in different configurations of queue management algorithms. In particular, three basic configurations were considered: all routers in the network use the passive queue management, only one router in the network uses the active queue management (other routers use the passive queue management), all routers in the network use the active queue management. Six different AQM algorithms were used and tested in two congestion scenarios. In every case the performance of all bottleneck links was observed as well as the average performance of the whole network. In all the simulations, the average performance of the networ!
k, measured in terms of the queueing delay, was improved by when at least one router used an AQM algorithm. Moreover, in most cases the performance of every bottleneck link was also improved. These results give strong arguments for using AQM in the Internet. However, in some experiments we observed a performance degradation of particular bottleneck links when an AQM algorithm was used, indicating that some problems may indeed arise due to the mutual interactions of AQM routers.
