On the mailing list, on the summer webex, and during the last meeting, we've discussed plans and expectations for adopting algorithm specifications as working group drafts.
For a process description, see page 6 of: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/90/slides/slides-90-aqm-0.pdf (one exception is that our charter says algorithms can be Proposed Standard, and we must have forgot that when drawing the chart) Here is the list of algorithm documents and how we view their current status (alphabetical order): - draft-hoeiland-joergensen-aqm-fq-codel : this has cleared "Gate-1", and is welcome for continued discussion, but is heavily focused on the FQ / scheduling aspect, and relies on CoDel as an AQM. It could become an appendix to the CoDel draft, or proceed some other way. Feedback about how folks want to handle this is very welcome. - draft-lauten-aqm-gsp : this has cleared "Gate-1" and is welcome for continued discussion, but we haven't yet seen the interest from multiple parties towards progressing it - draft-nichols-tsvwg-codel : this is ready for the "Gate-2" decision about WG adoption. We have some significant concerns about whether editors are available to handle this through the working group, however. - draft-pan-aqm-pie : this is ready for the "Gate-2" decision about WG adoption. - draft-white-aqm-docsis-pie : this could either become an appendix to the draft-pan specification or could progress in parallel to it as an Informational description of what has been done, and shouldn't require much additional work. We would like feedback right now on adopting: 1 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pan-aqm-pie-01 and 2 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nichols-tsvwg-codel-02 towards the charter milestone for submitting algorithm specifications to the IESG. Whether they are Proposed Standard or Experimental can be debated now or later, but we want to probe if there's critical mass to adopt them first. -- Wes Eddy MTI Systems _______________________________________________ aqm mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/aqm
