   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.
  14
  15        This file codes a "divisionless" version of RED algorithm
  16        as written down in Fig.17 of the paper.
  17
  18        Short description.
  19        ------------------
  20
  21        When a new packet arrives we calculate the average queue length:
  22
  23        avg = (1-W)*avg + W*current_queue_len,
  24
  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.
  28
  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:
  32
  33        Pb = max_P * (avg - th_min)/(th_max-th_min)
  34
  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.
  38
  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.
  42
  43
  44        Parameters, settable by user:
  45        -----------------------------
  46
  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)
  51
  52        Plog is related to max_P by formula:
  53
  54        max_P = (qth_max-qth_min)/2^Plog;
  55
  56        F.e. if qth_max=128K and qth_min=32K, then Plog=22
  57        corresponds to max_P=0.02
  58
  59        Scell_log
  60        Stab
  61
  62        Lookup table for log((1-W)^(t/t_ave).
  63
  64
  65        NOTES:
  66
  67        Upper bound on W.
  68        -----------------
  69
  70        If you want to allow bursts of L packets of size S,
  71        you should choose W:
  72
  73        L + 1 - th_min/S < (1-(1-W)^L)/W
  74
  75        th_min/S = 32         th_min/S = 4
  76
  77        log(W)  L
  78        -1      33
  79        -2      35
  80        -3      39
  81        -4      46
