I have reviewed this draft, and my only complaint is that the new text: "Packets arriving at a full buffer SHOULD be dropped" is really jarring, where it landed, in section 4.4.
If this MUST be discussed somewhere, I'd suggest opening a new section for it entirely. Still... I'd suggest dropping this sentence entirely and letting the fq_codel draft handle it. There are, incidentally, several strategies for a dealing with a full buffer in a multi-queue system besides drop tail (which the above appears to recommend for codel). How fq_codel does drop on full, incidentally, has improved greatly since we created the last version of the fq_codel draft, based on field testing. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/617307/ And I'd be willing to update some future fq_codel.bis document to reflect that. ... I like the new definitions section. ... Aside from that, I have not looked at this in going on two years, and bits are falling out of date, and NONE of my nits are substantive enough to warrant holding up publication a microsecond longer. It's a *experimental* draft, not a standard. If we want to discuss how to produce a fq_codel.bis and codel.bis, and for that matter pie.bis and fq_pie.bis... on standards track, one day, great.
