Abstract
With the growth of internet, the user’s requirements in terms of scale, functionality of network and performance of internet also increases. It becomes very important to guarantee the efficiency, stability and performance of a given network as per the user’s requirements. It is known that the data transfer between computers takes place in the form of packets. Given the network architecture of the underlying network, the performance of the network relies on control methods and effective flow management measures taken. Therefore congestion control ought to be the required premise. The support for congestion control is provided by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Many Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms have been proposed that helps in congestion avoidance, the most basic of them is Random Early Detection (RED) Algorithm. Due to drawbacks of RED, many enhancements of RED were proposed. Dynamic gentle Random Early Detection (DGRED) is the latest enhancement of RED which has been implemented in Network Simulator-3 (NS-3). A network scenario consisting of 6 nodes has been taken. The performance of both the algorithms has been evaluated by configuring the routers and the results have been compared. Jitter parameter has been further testified by later on modifying the topology by adding another node. The topology modification brings out better jitter results.
