Description
Summary:The paper examines the AQM mechanism based on neural networks. The active queue management allows packets to be dropped from the router’s queue before the buffer is full. The aim of the work is to use machine learning to create a model that copies the behavior of the AQM <inline-formula><math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>P</mi><msup><mi>I</mi><mi>α</mi></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> mechanism. We create training samples taking into account the self-similarity of network traffic. The model uses fractional Gaussian noise as a source. The quantitative analysis is based on simulation. During the tests, we analyzed the length of the queue, the number of rejected packets and waiting times in the queues. The proposed mechanism shows the usefulness of the Active Queue Management mechanism based on Neural Networks.
