/*	Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm.
	=======================================

	Source: Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson, "Random Early Detection Gateways
	for Congestion Avoidance", 1993, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.

	This file codes a "divisionless" version of RED algorithm
	as written down in Fig.17 of the paper.

	Short description.
	------------------

	When a new packet arrives we calculate the average queue length:

	avg = (1-W)*avg + W*current_queue_len,

	W is the filter time constant (chosen as 2^(-Wlog)), it controls
	the inertia of the algorithm. To allow larger bursts, W should be
	decreased.

	if (avg > th_max) -> packet marked (dropped).
	if (avg < th_min) -> packet passes.
	if (th_min < avg < th_max) we calculate probability:

	Pb = max_P * (avg - th_min)/(th_max-th_min)

	and mark (drop) packet with this probability.
	Pb changes from 0 (at avg==th_min) to max_P (avg==th_max).
	max_P should be small (not 1), usually 0.01..0.02 is good value.

	max_P is chosen as a number, so that max_P/(th_max-th_min)
	is a negative power of two in order arithmetics to contain
	only shifts.


	Parameters, settable by user:
	-----------------------------

	qth_min		- bytes (should be < qth_max/2)
	qth_max		- bytes (should be at least 2*qth_min and less limit)
	Wlog	       	- bits (<32) log(1/W).
	Plog	       	- bits (<32)

	Plog is related to max_P by formula:

	max_P = (qth_max-qth_min)/2^Plog;

	F.e. if qth_max=128K and qth_min=32K, then Plog=22
	corresponds to max_P=0.02

	Scell_log
	Stab

	Lookup table for log((1-W)^(t/t_ave).


	NOTES:

	Upper bound on W.
	-----------------

	If you want to allow bursts of L packets of size S,
	you should choose W:

	L + 1 - th_min/S < (1-(1-W)^L)/W

	th_min/S = 32         th_min/S = 4

	log(W)	L
	-1	33
	-2	35
	-3	39
	-4	46
	-5	57
	-6	75
	-7	101
	-8	135
	-9	190
	etc.
