The IESG has received a request from the Active Queue Management and Packet Scheduling WG (aqm) to consider the following document: - 'AQM Characterization Guidelines' <draft-ietf-aqm-eval-guidelines-11.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-05-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Unmanaged large buffers in today's networks have given rise to a slew of performance issues. These performance issues can be addressed by some form of Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanism, optionally in combination with a packet scheduling scheme such as fair queuing. This document describes various criteria for performing precautionary characterizations of AQM schemes. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-aqm-eval-guidelines/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-aqm-eval-guidelines/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
