Cablelabs did an extensive simulation of various AQM algorithms on cable modems and presented the results at ietf
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/86/slides/slides-86-iccrg-3.pdf Network latency reductions under load of cable modems 20-50x times better than what exists today... There was also some in-depth research on the deployed version of the algorithm (in linux) presented: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/86/slides/slides-86-iccrg-0.pdf We also did (at ietf) a spectacular demo of the effects of nfq_codel on web, video and gaming traffic under load, which was filmed and should be up on the ietf youtube channel in another week or so. The net result of all that was the formation of the aqm mailing list at the ietf: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/aqm I hope to get a chance to talk about this stuff at the upcoming uknof meeting, but if not, do take a look at the results we're getting in the urls above. I'd given a talk last year on SFQRED, fq_codel (which we've been evaluating for a year) is superior in every respect, and we are working on making something derived from it the default in Linux, and to get it running on more embedded platforms than just openwrt. -- Dave Täht
