9 /*	Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm.
10 	=======================================
11 
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
82 	-5	57
83 	-6	75
84 	-7	101
85 	-8	135
86 	-9	190
87 	etc.
