Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for adjusting RED configuration according to the available buffer space for a queue in a switch. In one or more embodiments, a method comprises the steps of: initializing minimum and maximum thresholds of RED associated with a queue; determining an available free space for the queue, wherein a data packet for the queue is discarded by a dynamic thresholding when a length of the queue reaches the available free space; determining an allowable free space (AFS) for the queue that is a multiplication of the available free space to an allowance factor (AF); and, when the length of the queue reaches the AFS, calculating a ratio of the minimum threshold to the maximum threshold and updating the maximum threshold to the AFS and updating the minimum threshold to a multiplication of the ratio to the AFS.
