'''Blue'''<ref>W. Feng, D. Kandlur, D. Saha, K. Shin. ''Blue: A New Class of Active Queue Management Algorithms.'' U. Michigan CSE-TR-387-99, April 1999.</ref> is an [[Active Queue Management]] algorithm. Like [[Random early detection|RED]], it operates by randomly dropping or [[Explicit Congestion Notification|ECN]]-marking packets in a router's queue before it overflows. Unlike RED, however, it requires little or no tuning on the part of the network administrator.
