Main Ideas

Different types of queues, such as FIFO, LIFO, priority queues, and active queue management, come with their own trade-offs. They help handle bursts of requests but may still lead to requests being dropped. Priority queues prioritize important requests for processing. Active queue management involves dropping low priority requests before the queue fills up to ensure the processing of more priority requests. FIFO queues are commonly used in HTTP requests, while LIFO queues might be a better choice for most workloads.
