[Bloat] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-tahiliani-tsvwg-fq-pie-01.txt

[grenville armitage]

Hi Mohit,

Thanks for doing the comparison!

As for "/any other material related to this?/" I've had a dig around, and there is not a lot. Rasool (the FreeBSD fq-pie author) did write up a university tech report in April 2016, "/Dummynet AQM v0.2 – CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE for FreeBSD’s ipfw/dummynet framework/" (wayback machine link <https://web.archive.org/web/20241018123533/http://caia.swin.edu.au/reports/160418A/CAIA-TR-160418A.pdf>). There's also a small mention in an LCN 2017 paper titled "/Characterising LEDBAT Performance Through Bottlenecks Using PIE, FQ-CoDel and FQ-PIE Active Queue Management/" (ieee link <http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/LCN.2017.22>, author preprint <http://gja.space4me.com/things/ralsaadi-lcn2017-preprint-aqm_on_ledbat-preprint-4oct17.pdf>). Hope these are of some (historical) interest to your I-D (and the wider bufferbloat mailing list, too). I'm unaware of any production deployment of FreeBSD's fq-pie.

cheers,
gja

It has been too long since I last looked, so would love your thoughts on how it aligns (or doesn't) with https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-tahiliani-tsvwg-fq-pie/?
