Abstract
A queue length for a queue storing packets transmitted through a communications network is temporarily increased at a time instant corresponding to an onset of congestion of the queue for a time period. Increasing the queue length in this way may be accommodated by providing an auxiliary storage area for packets that would otherwise be stored in the queue. The auxiliary storage area may be associated with a different physical storage device than a storage device associated with the queue.
