Computer networks like earnings necessitate network resources, i.e. bandwidth, buffer spaces, etc in order to accommodate the arriving packets at router buffers 25. When the arriving packets cannot be accommodated due to lack of network resources, this indicates occurring congestion at router buffers of networks 21. congestion can deteriorate a network performance 22, 25 through growth the packet loss probability due to overflow as sanitary as the mean waiting time for packets in the standing network. In addition, congestion may reduce the throughput and increase the packet dropping probability precedes the router buffers take hold overflowed. Congestion can also generate unmaintained average dress length ( ), and this may lead to build up the contents of router buffers, and therefrom galore(postnominal) arriving packets may drop or lose at the router buffers. Many researchers stick out proposed methods with aim to control congestion at router buffers of networks 1, 2, 4 , 5, 8, 14, 15, 16, i.e. AQM methods 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16. Each AQM is proposed as a congestion control method that identifies congestion at router buffers in an earlier stage, which means before the router buffers have overflowed. The most known AQM method is departure 14, Gentle ruddy 16, the Adaptive GRED 2, Adaptive RED 15, Random betimes Marking (REM) 7, Dynamic Random Early Drop (DRED) 8 and some discrete-time queue analytical models 1, 4, 5, 6 which were constructed depending on some of AQM techniques. For example, DRED analytical models which they constructed by analysing two queue nodes 5 and three queue nodes 1 based on DRED and using discrete-time queues mechanism 26. GRED analytical model 4 and BLUE analytical model 6 were constructed depending on GRED and BLUE, respectively and utilising discrete-time queues mechanism. As mentioned previously, RED was proposed as a congestion control method, but RED can degrade the networks performance due to the p ursuance causes 1) abruptly RED can increase its arrival rate aggressively, thus the REDs router buffers may overflow. Therefore, every arriving packet will lose. 2) At a particular time, the REDs congestion measure ( ) repute may be below the care for of minimum threshold vex at the router buffer ( ). This indicates no packet can be dropped. However, for a short time the arrival rate increases and making the router buffer overflowing. Nonetheless, the value increases but still smaller than the value of .
