An apparatus for providing a random early detection (RED) in a packet switched network, comprising: a dequeue counter which is incremented upon each dequeue of a data packet from a queue (Q), and which is reset upon each enqueue of a data packet into the Q; a coefficient memory table (CMT), which stores a predetermined number M of decay coefficients (C); and a calculation unit which is adapted to calculate upon each enqueue of a data packet in the Q, an average queue size (AQS), of the Q, depending on a decay coefficient (C) read from a memory address of the CMT to which the dequeue counter points before it is reset. |
