Controlling Queue Delay

An article by Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson. They expose a new algorithm, CoDel (Controlled Delay Management), for “partially” solving the bufferbloat problem, where network buffers remain persistently full:

Although essential to the operation of packet networks, buffers tend to fill up and remain full at congested links, contributing to excessive traffic delay and losing the ability to perform their intended function of absorbing bursts.
