   9 /*      Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm.
  10         =======================================
  11
  12         Source: Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson, "Random Early Detection Gateways
  13         for Congestion Avoidance", 1993, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
  14
  15         This file codes a "divisionless" version of RED algorithm
  16         as written down in Fig.17 of the paper.
  17
  18         Short description.
  19         ------------------
  20
  21         When a new packet arrives we calculate the average queue length:
  22
  23         avg = (1-W)*avg + W*current_queue_len,
  24
  25         W is the filter time constant (chosen as 2^(-Wlog)), it controls
  26         the inertia of the algorithm. To allow larger bursts, W should be
  27         decreased.
  28
  29         if (avg > th_max) -> packet marked (dropped).
  30         if (avg < th_min) -> packet passes.
  31         if (th_min < avg < th_max) we calculate probability:
  32
  33         Pb = max_P * (avg - th_min)/(th_max-th_min)
  34
  35         and mark (drop) packet with this probability.
  36         Pb changes from 0 (at avg==th_min) to max_P (avg==th_max).
  37         max_P should be small (not 1), usually 0.01..0.02 is good value.
  38
  39         max_P is chosen as a number, so that max_P/(th_max-th_min)
  40         is a negative power of two in order arithmetics to contain
  41         only shifts.
  42
  43
  44         Parameters, settable by user:
  45         -----------------------------
  46
  47         qth_min         - bytes (should be < qth_max/2)
  48         qth_max         - bytes (should be at least 2*qth_min and less limit)
  49         Wlog            - bits (<32) log(1/W).
  50         Plog            - bits (<32)
  51
  52         Plog is related to max_P by formula:
  53
  54         max_P = (qth_max-qth_min)/2^Plog;
  55
  56         F.e. if qth_max=128K and qth_min=32K, then Plog=22
  57         corresponds to max_P=0.02
  58
  59         Scell_log
  60         Stab
  61
  62         Lookup table for log((1-W)^(t/t_ave).
  63
  64
  65         NOTES:
  66
  67         Upper bound on W.
  68         -----------------
  69
  70         If you want to allow bursts of L packets of size S,
  71         you should choose W:
  72
  73         L + 1 - th_min/S < (1-(1-W)^L)/W
  74
  75         th_min/S = 32         th_min/S = 4
