Just to be clear, my suggestion is diametrically opposed to the list that

You are suggesting very tight queue management.  By the mid-70's, Kleinrock 
showed that these mechanisms do not work in the face of sustained 
overload.  They only work when the problem is transient.

Rather than trying to manage the congestion, I am suggesting that we throw 
money at the problem, to overbuy space so that we don't have the problem.
