RFC 2309: Recommendations on Queue Management and Congestion Avoidance in the Internet
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7567.
Current version: RFC 7567 — IETF Recommendations Regarding Active Queue Management
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This memo presents two recommendations to the Internet community concerning measures to improve and preserve Internet performance. It presents a strong recommendation for testing, standardization, and widespread deployment of active queue management in routers, to improve the performance of today's Internet. It also urges a concerted effort of research, measurement, and ultimate deployment of router mechanisms to protect the Internet from flows that are not sufficiently responsive to congestion notification. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
