Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a novel packet discarding policy called the longest-packet-in (LPI) for ATM networks. We compare LPI to: tail drop, early packet discard, early packet discard with hysteresis and fair early packet discard with hysteresis. We show that LPI not only provides the highest cell goodput, but also produces the highest packet goodput under a short-range dependent process for a high ratio of the mean packet size to the buffer size
