Abstract :
Routers handle data packets from sources unresponsive to TCP´s congestion avoidance feedback. We are interested in the impact these sources have on active queue management (AQM) control of long-lived TCP traffic. In this paper, we combine models of TCP/AQM dynamics with models of unresponsive traffic to analyze the effects on AQM performance.
