Characterization Guidelines for Active Queue Management
RFC 7928, “Characterization Guidelines for Active Queue Management”, is an Informational document published in July 2016 by N. Kuhn, P. Natarajan, N. Khademi, D. Ros. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Unmanaged large buffers in today's networks have given rise to a slew of performance issues. These performance issues can be addressed by some form of Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanism, optionally in combination with a packet-scheduling scheme such as fair queuing. This document describes various criteria for performing characterizations of AQM schemes that can be used in lab testing during development, prior to deployment.
