Document: draft-ietf-aqm-codel-07 Reviewer: Fernando Gont Review Date: 2017-03-25 IETF LC End Date: 2017-03-27 IESG Telechat date: 2017-04-13 Summary: The document is well written. However, there seem to be too many details that are left out in other associated documents. Whereas such details (including figures) are needed to understand this document, they should be included here. Either provide full explanations or summarize the outcome without details (there's text that somehow relies on the reading finding such figures elsewhere). Major issues: * Section 5.1, page 16: > A more detailed explanation with many pictures can be found in > http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/84/slides/slides-84-tsvarea-4.pdf . Unless I'm missing something, if this document is specifying CoDel, then all such details should be here. Minor issues: * General: The document would benefit from a terminology section. For example, only well into the I-D one finds definitions of terms such as "sojourn times" or "target setpoint". Not sure if those terms are supposed to be trivial/obvious to most people reading this document, but their non-definition left me trying to figure out what the terms were about before I was ale to better understand what you were describing. Page 3, Section 1: > o simple and efficient implementation (can easily span the spectrum > from low-end, linux-based access points and home routers up to > high-end commercial router silicon) There seems to be an unnecesary implicit "judgement" here, associating linux-based with low-end, and commercial with high end. I suggest you modify the text. Page 10: > count_ = (delta > 1 && now - drop_next_ < 16*interval_)? For clarity, I'd use additional parenthesis here. Nits/editorial comments: * Page 17: > The power vs. f curve for any AIMD TCP is monotone decreasing. Please expand the acronym. * Page 17: > simulation that this result holds for Reno, Cubic, and > Westwood[TSV84]. Missing space. Thanks! Fernando
