Hi Toke, The two critical references are this paper and this PhD thesis . The former describes "cherish-urgency" multiplexing. The "cherish" is what is different to today's scheduling. It is used to create a new class of algorithm whose goal is global optimisation, not local optimisation (and global pessimisation). The latter describes a paradigm change from "build it and then reason about emergent performance" to "reason about engineered performance and then build it". It works in practise , so whether it works in theory is left as an exercise to the reader. The first step is to get the measurement right. I'm running a public workshop in London on 8th Dec , and I am happy to accommodate anyone from this list at our internal cost. Everyone working on AQM has done the best possible within the paradigm they are operating. There is a bigger box of possibilities available, but it needs you to engage with a paradigm change.
