Controlled Delay Active Queue Management
draft-ietf-aqm-codel-08
Abstract
This document describes a general framework called CoDel (Controlled
Delay) that controls bufferbloat-generated excess delay in modern
networking environments. CoDel consists of an estimator, a setpoint,
and a control loop. It requires no configuration in normal Internet
deployments.

1. Introduction
The "persistently full buffer" problem has been discussed in the IETF
community since the early 80's [RFC896]. The IRTF's End-to-End
Working Group called for the deployment of active queue management
(AQM) to solve the problem in 1998 [RFC2309]. Despite this
