Congestion control mechanism is one of the key that keeps any network efficient and reliable for the users. Many mechanisms were proposed in the literature over the years for the efficient control of congestion that occur in the network. Active Queue Management (AQM) is one such mechanism, which provides better control in the recent years. Over the last decade numerous AQM schemes have been proposed in the literature. However, much recent work has focused on improving AQM performance through alternate approaches. This study focuses on an unbiased comparative evaluation of the various proposals. The evaluation methodology adopted is the following: we first briefly introduce the queue, delay, and loss characteristics–a subset of network characteristics that can be used to describe the behavior of network entities. Next, we present a method based on the NS simulation technique and simulation-based comparisons of AQM schemes chosen, which will help to understand how they differ from in terms of per-node queuing information in wireless (Wireless LAN) networks.
