On control gain selection in dynamic-RED

Based on control theory, this letter provides guidelines for the selection of the control gain for dynamic-RED to stabilize a congested queue at a target and hence to improve network performance. Simulations demonstrate that indeed satisfactory performance can be achieved if the control gain is selected based on the guidelines.
