Buffers have previously been managed using simple algorithms such as Droptail (DT), but this method has proven to have many setbacks, such as large queue delays and frequent occurrences of global synchronizations and shutdowns. To overcome these problems, the Active Queue Management (AQM) technique was introduced, including algorithms like Random Early Detection (RED). AQM techniques predict and discharge packets or label them before the buffer reaches its capacity to prevent congestion. In recent work, these algorithms have been enhanced with deep reinforcement learning to achieve improved network performance. This paper intends to present an evaluation of different studies conducted by researchers on congestion control methods. More importantly, it aims to compare the various findings, highlight the prospects of the different methods amid their weaknesses, and discuss future research opportunities within this critical domain of network management. 2025 179 196 3125 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/JCIM.150114 https://www.americaspg.com/journal/2/article/3125 https://www.americaspg.com/storage/71723403302.pdf
