Stochastic fair blue: a queue management algorithm for enforcing fairness

Abstract

This paper describes and evaluates stochastic fair blue (SFB), a novel technique for enforcing fairness among a large number of rows. SFB scalably detects and rate-limits non-responsive flows through the use of a marking probability derived from the blue queue management algorithm and a Bloom (1970) filter. Using analysis and simulation, SFB is shown to effectively handle non-responsive flows using an extremely small amount of state information.
