Work conserving is supposed to be referring to the scheduler. I'm not familiar with work-conservation when it refers to active queue management. I'm not sure it is actually defined.
I can understand that an AQM can produce under utilization of the link, but that is different to work conservation. Or is it maybe more subtle than that?
