This paper investigates the effect of queue averaging on RED's ability to avoid a bias against bursty traffic, to minimize queue size oscillation, and to optimize the distribution of packet drops over time in order to avoid global synchronization. We find that a small degree of averaging is best to optimize the performance metrics mentioned above and adapt an existing model how to set RED's queue weight parameter.
