Characteristic Oscillation and Intermittency in TCP-RED Gateway

It has been found that a bottleneck RED gateway can become oscillatory when regulating a number of TCP flows. We develop a dynamic model to qualitatively describe the characteristic frequency and intermittency o f the oscillation in the RED gateway. The results have been verified with thens simulator.
