Abstract

A scalable method for efficient dynamic allocation of buffer resources in a store-and-forward device, such that high utilization can be maintained with small average buffer occupancy by providing asymmetric congestion control with opportune random detection. Also provided is tolerance of transient onset of congestion and fairness toward bursty traffic with ready reaction to declines in congestion.
