Abstract
A network device receives a packet at a port from among a number of ports. A queue threshold is randomly adjusted for a queue having an output buffer to which the packet is stored. When a fullness of the queue exceeds the adjusted queue threshold, at a time when the packet is to be enqueued into the queue, an action is performed. The action includes either dropping the received packet, or flow-controlling the port at which the packet is received.
