Table 1

Simulation parameters.

Foreground flows	9–27 TCP flows
Background traffic	256 Kbps Pareto flows (source to destinations)
Reverse traffic	64 Kbps Pareto flows (destinations to source)
Cross traffic	64 Kbps CBR flows (24)
Queue size	250 packets (in one experiment 50, 100, 150, … 250)
Drop policy	DropTail (one experiment with RED and RED + DropTail)
Link delays	Randomly assigned (from 1 ms to 20 ms)
