As I recall the discussion, we decided up front that since there is no 
interoperability requirement among AQM algorithms (the requirement is that they 
interoperate well with TCP and UDP based applications; the AQM algorithms don' 
actually talk to each other, and the point is to drop or mark at the right rate 
and with the right pattern to encourage transport layer sessions to behave 
well), we didn't need to recommend a single AQM algorithm for all equipment or 
all uses. What we did need to do was identify some AQM algorithms that actually 
worked, and give guidance to the vendors and operators on their use.
