Hi Alia,

nearly forgot that I quickly want to come back to you on this one.

Actually there is no one good recommendation to make. This is why the working ended up standardizing multiple schemes. However, the general guidance given in RFC 7567 is to deploy at least one of the solution. And there is also RFC7928 that gives guidelines for the characterization of AQM scheme that can support operator to evaluate which one fits best their own requirements.

Hi Mirja,

Thanks for the information.  I completely agree that it is up to the authors,
shepherd & WG Chairs as to what
clarity to add.

On the standards track not being required due to not needing interoperability
with at the same time not enough
deployment, I do think that having a clear statement would help encourage
that deployment.  Otherwise, it's a
catch-22.  I also don't know if codel or fq-codel is actually preferable and
the reasoning - but I haven't gone and
reread the latter.   For this work, where the deployment has real hardware
(ASIC, etc) consequences with long
lead-times, being clearer would help.

It's nice to see this work moving ahead.

Regards,
Alia

    Hi Alia,

    thanks for your feedback! Just on your first point regarding the status.
    The working group felt that there was not enough deployment to go
    directly to standards track and given AQM algorithm don’t need
    interoperability it was not really important for them to go to standards
    track right away. However, I leave it to the authors if they are able to
    add more text on how experimentation should be further performed.
