Abstract:
This document provides recommendations of best current practice for
dropping or marking packets using any active queue management (AQM)
algorithm, including random early detection (RED), BLUE, pre-
congestion notification (PCN) and newer schemes such as CoDel and
PIE. We give three strong recommendations: (1) packet size should be
taken into account when transports detect and respond to congestion
indications, (2) packet size should not be taken into account when
network equipment creates congestion signals (marking, dropping), and
therefore (3) in the specific case of RED, the byte-mode packet drop
variant that drops fewer small packets should not be used. This memo
updates RFC 2309 to deprecate deliberate preferential treatment of
small packets in AQM algorithms.
