thoughts for next draft
long off-list discussions haven’t resolved differences, but could
main points in favour of size-dependent drop:
control packets tend to be small (e.g. SYNs, pure ACKs)
so less drop of small packets gives performance win
already have mix of size-dependent (drop-tail) and size-independent drop
so doesn’t reduce complexity by only having size-independent
apps have other (OS) incentives not to use small packets
main points in favour of size-independent drop
not all small pkts are control, so favouring all smallness creates unintended consequences
the more size-independent AQM, the less transport uncertainty over queue behaviours
mustn’t provide incentives for new transports to use small data pkts
possible ways forward
focus only on PCN?
but still mileage in reaching consensus on RED too
