The invention discloses a method for managing passive queue by virtue of combining random drop and drop front. The method comprises: when the Internet is jammed and a bottleneck node queue is full, a data packet is discarded from the front of the bottleneck node queue first; and then another data packet in the queue is randomly discarded, thus the fairness can be effectively improved, the global synchronization and deadlock can be eliminated, and the network transmission performance can be improved with small computation.
