IETF Recommendations Regarding Active Queue Management
RFC 7567, “IETF Recommendations Regarding Active Queue Management”, is a Best Current Practice document published in July 2015 by F. Baker, G. Fairhurst. It obsoletes RFC 2309. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo presents recommendations to the Internet community concerning measures to improve and preserve Internet performance. It presents a strong recommendation for testing, standardization, and widespread deployment of active queue management (AQM) in network devices to improve the performance of today's Internet. It also urges a concerted effort of research, measurement, and ultimate deployment of AQM mechanisms to protect the Internet from flows that are not sufficiently responsive to congestion notification.
Based on 15 years of experience and new research, this document replaces the recommendations of RFC 2309.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
