Subject: [Cake] packet mass, ecn, and a fractional count
Date: Thu, 7 May 2015 19:32:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA93jw7NmPhbJWmmxssdH_3GynGX4X2wuD9DzaqkFZ7OcFCyew@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

from observing behaviors with large numbers of flows, fq_codel derived
algorithms start to struggle to achieve the desired delay, cake
seemingly less so, and perhaps this is related to collisions also.

A thought would be to use a fractional (fixed point) increment to
count rather than "1" when larger numbers of flows are present.

The original ns2 model started applying a slightly different fraction
to count in certain circumstances. It is quite doable in the 32 bit
int to reserve a few bits for a fixed point fraction (say, 4 bits),
but to apply it as the number of flows in play grows, not sure.

See also the tracy widom distribution.
