Hi all,

For those who missed the L4S BoF, the PI2 AQM with DualQ option is available on 
the following git: https://github.com/olgabo/dualpi2

PI2 (PI Improved with a Square) is a simplification of PIE (PI Enhanced) with 
the advantage of also supporting L4S congestion controls (like DCTCP). PI2 
controls by default a single queue, with a common target (default 20ms). To get 
the most out of the L4S traffic you need a second L4S queue and a coupled AQM. 
PI2 supports this by specifying the "dualq" option. The L4S queue is having an 
immediate step ECN marker at 1ms, while the classic queue still has the 20ms 
target (with mark/drop coupled back to both L4S and Classic).

Note that PI2 supports DCTCP, but DCTCP is not the target to be used on the 
internet. The TCP-Prague requirements 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-briscoe-tsvwg-aqm-tcpm-rmcat-l4s-problem-02#appendix-A)
 defines what is needed to have an end-system CC implementation which behaves 
similar to what FQ-X achieves in the network. FQ-X is a way the network can 
correct the behavior of classic TCP CCs, TCP-Prague is the end-system 
alternative that keeps the network simple and transport layer independent.

Feel free to try it out, and join in developing a TCP CC that meets the 
TCP-Prague requirements.

Regards,
Koen.
