/* 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.

OK. qR is random number in the interval 0..Rmask
i.e. 0..(2^Plog). If we used floating point
arithmetics, it would be: (2^Plog)*rnd_num,
where rnd_num is less 1.
Taking into account, that qavg have fixed
point at Wlog, and Plog is related to max_P by
max_P = (qth_max-qth_min)/2^Plog; two lines
below have the following floating point equivalent:
max_P*(qavg - qth_min)/(qth_max-qth_min) < rnd/qcount
