Abstract
A method for calculating a drop probability can comprise determining, based on measurements within a network architecture of the computer system, a current packet delay and current link utilization within network architecture. The method can also comprise predicting a change in the packet delay within the network architecture at a predefined time interval in the future. Additionally, the method can comprise predicting a change in the link utilization within the network architecture at a predefined time interval in the future. Further, the method can comprise computing a drop probability that will ensure that the ratio of the predicted change in the packet delay over the predicted change in the link utilization approximates an predetermined ideal.
