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).
