Subject: [Bismark-devel] Note the following about RED.
Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 09:25:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DDA6061.8050901@freedesktop.org> (raw)

Van Jacobson is quite pessimistic that you can find a RED 93 operating 
point that will work well in the face of Powerboost like variable 
bandwidth features in home broadband environments.  So if you get into 
trouble with it, don't be too surprised.

In fact, its use at all in the edge of the network he believes is 
problematic.  There is too little aggregation and too much variability 
of traffic in a home environment for he or Kathie Nichols to have any 
belief in sane behaviour  in RED 93 given RED's problems.

Ergo our interests in SFB and RED Light and eBDP (which Van pointed us 
at in the first place).
                             - Jim
