A Fuzzy Logic Buffer Management Algorithm

We propose a fuzzy logic-based buffer management algorithm to improve internet traffic over ATM-GFR service. The proposed algorithm employs the strategies of early congestion detection and selective packet discard to achieve its design goals. A key feature of proposed algorithm is its ability to accept or drop a new incoming packet dynamically based on buffer condition and load rate of VCs. This is achieved by using fuzzy logic controller for the production of a drop factor. Simulation results show that proposed scheme significantly has improved fairness and TCP throughput compared with previous schemes.
