Abstract:
This document provides recommendations of best current practice for
dropping or marking packets using active queue management (AQM) such
as random early detection (RED) or pre-congestion notification (PCN).
We give three strong recommendations: (1) packet size should be taken
into account when transports read and respond to congestion
indications, (2) packet size should not be taken into account when
network equipment creates congestion signals (marking, dropping), and
therefore (3) the byte-mode packet drop variant of the RED AQM
algorithm that drops fewer small packets should not be used. This
memo updates RFC 2309 to deprecate deliberate preferential treatment
of small packets in AQM algorithms.
