The current work aims to develop a suitable design for control systems as part of a queue management system using the transmission control protocol/and active queue management (TCP/AQM) protocol to handle the expected congestion in the network. The research also aims to make a comparison between the different control methods, including the traditional proportional integral derivative (PID) and the expert fuzzy logic control (FLC), as well as the optimal ant colony optimization (ACO) that is used according to the performance improvement criteria to reach the best values for parameters the traditional controller (kd, ki, k p), where the addition of the performance indicator time-weighted absolute error (ITAE) was adopted. The use of this method without any other optimization algorithm that can be applied to adjust the parameters of the PID to verify the possibility of improving performance and enhance that with experience and to know the level of improvement for this particular system being the subject of the study. The results showed the superiority of the optimal ACO over both the FLC expert and the conventional PID, as well as the superiority of the FLC expert over the traditional PID.
