This paper describes a technique for enhancing the effectiveness of RED by dynamically changing the threshold settings as the number of connections (and system load) changes. Using this technique, routers and switches can effectively control packet losses and TCP timeouts while maintaining high link utilization. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
