The current problem of packets generation and transformation around the world is router congestion, which then leads to a decline in the network performance in term of queuing delay (D) and packet loss (PL). The existing active queue management (AQM) algorithms do not optimize the network performance because these algorithms use static techniques for detecting and reacting to congestion at the router buffer. In this paper, a weight queue active queue management (WQDAQM) based on dynamic monitoring and reacting is proposed. Queue weight and the thresholds are dynamically adjusted based on the traffic load. WQDAQM controls the queue within the router buffer by stabilizing the queue weight between two thresholds dynamically. The WQDAQM algorithm is simulated and compared with the existing active queue management algorithms. The results reveal that the proposed method demonstrates better performance in terms mean queue length, D, PL, and dropping probability, compared to gentle random early detection (GRED), dynamic GRED, and stabilized dynamic GRED in both heavy or no-congestion cases. In detail, in a heavy congestion status, the proposed algorithm overperformed dynamic GRED (DGRED) by 13.3%, GRED by 19.2%, stabilized dynamic GRED (SDGRED) by 6.7% in term of mean queue length (mql). In terms of D in a heavy congestion status, the proposed algorithm overperformed DGRED by 13.3%, GRED by 19.3%, SDGRED by 6.3%. As for PL, the proposed algorithm overperformed DGRED by 15.5%, SDGRED by 19.8%, GRED by 86.3% in term of PL.
