Performance Analysis of Active Queue Management Algorithm Based on Reinforcement Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the information society, data explosion has led to more congestion in the core network, dampening the network performance. Random early detection (RED) is currently the standard algorithm for active queue management (AQM) recommended by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). However, RED is particularly sensitive to both service load and algorithm parameters. The algorithm cannot fully utilize the bandwidth at a low service load, and might suffer a long delay at a high service load. This paper designs the reinforcement learning AQM (RLAQM), a simple and practical variant of RED, which controls the average queue length to the predictable value under various network loads, such that the queue size is no longer sensitive to the level of congestion. Q-learning was adopted to adjust the maximum discarding probability, and derive the optimal control strategy. Simulation results indicate that RLAQM can effectively overcome the deficiency of RED and achieve better congestion control; RLAQM improves the network stability and performance in complex environment; it is very easy to migrate from RED to RLAQM on Internet routers: the only operation is to adjust the discarding probability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
