📶 Bufferbloat & Active Queue Management: RED vs CoDel

The simulation feeds bursty mixed traffic through a router buffer under tail-drop, RED, and CoDel policies, plotting the resulting queueing latency over time to show bufferbloat's latency spikes against each AQM scheme's proactive dropping behavior.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

The simulation feeds bursty mixed traffic through a router buffer under tail-drop, RED, and CoDel policies, plotting the resulting queueing latency over time to show bufferbloat's latency spikes against each AQM scheme's proactive dropping behavior.

🎮 How to Use

Select a queue management policy and traffic burst intensity, then run the simulation to watch the buffer fill and drain while a live latency graph compares delay spikes across policies.

💡 Did You Know?

Researcher Jim Gettys helped popularize the term bufferbloat around 2010 after discovering that his own home network could suffer multiple seconds of latency during a large upload, even though the link itself had plenty of spare bandwidth.
