A comparative study of different queuing models used in network routers for congestion avoidance

Abstract

As the network traffic is increasing exponentially, the queuing model used in a network decides the degree of congestion that is possible in the network infrastructure. Hence using a suitable queuing model based upon the network infrastructure like buffer size and the type of data traffic flowing through the network will help in better utilization of system resources by minimizing congestion to the best. In this paper, we study the different queuing models that have evolved over time and how they suit the application. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
