Two of the tests in my model based metrics draft (for IPPM) are for AQM (like) tests. One we have pretty good theory for (preventing standing queues in congestion avoidance) and the other we don't (exiting from slowstart at a reasonable window).
See: draft-mathis-ippm-model-based-metrics-01.txt My intent is that these tests will become part of a future IPPM standard on what a network must do in order to support modern applications at specific performance levels. Although the draft will not specify AQM algorithms at all, it will forbid some non-AQM behaviors such as unreasonable standing queues. To the extent that it gets traction as a standard, it will strongly encourage deployment, even if we are not totally convinced that our current AQM algorithms are 100% correct. However, It is not clear that we need to standardize AQM - It strikes me as one area where we can permit pretty much unfettered diversity in the operational Internet as long as it meets a pretty low "it seems to work" bar. For this reason it is important to deploy your favorite algorithm(s) ASAP, because they are all infinitely better than none, and future improvements will be relatively minor by comparison.
