I am still working in this area, including on a revised version of SCE which might regain traction in the IETF. One of the more immediate results of this is a new AQM algorithm which builds on the success of Codel, and a family of qdiscs I'm building around it. These range from a queueless traffic policer to a "Cake version 2", with an interesting approximate-fairness approach for the middle child. The AQM itself is already working, though not yet documented in a public-facing form. I'm also taking a new approach to overlaying the "small" congestion response of SCE over the "big" response of conventional congestion control, which I think is capable of solving several long-standing problems in one go. I'll say more when we have a working prototype - but think in terms of "no sawtooth" and "naturally max-min fair". TCP Prague will look positively primitive compared to this - if it works (and it should). - Jonathan Morton _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list Cake@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
