Among various AQM methods that have been proposed in the literature, Random Early Detection (RED)method has proved to stabilize the network performance under various traffic loads. However, as the primary concern of RED is to avoid loss when the router buffer overflowed, RED harms the delay at the router and increases the latency. Given that reducing delay is critical to some applications, such as online conferencing and broadcasting, RED needs to be adjusted to ease the delay problem. In this paper, RED is improved by monitoring the delay at the router buffer and implementing packet dropping to handle the issue of network delay and enhance the network performance. Accordingly, the modified method calculates and used a delay parameter with the RED to reduce the delay while maintaining the desirable RED’s characteristics. The experimental results showed that the proposed Delay-Controller Random Early Detection (DcRED) improved network performance under various traffic loads. Compared to RED, DcRED results in less delay, while maintaining the loss and dropping rates.
