I finally got my SCTE proceedings today. In there were a presentation and paper by Arris's CTO and several of his senior engineers... http://snapon.lab.bufferbloat.net/~d/trimfat/Cloonan_Paper.pdf http://snapon.lab.bufferbloat.net/~d/trimfat/Cloonan_Presentation.pdf There are some very good ideas and analysis in here, a nice enhancement to SFQ easily implementable in hardware, and a new version of RED, called "LRED". In a first reading, there are a few things I quibble with (they missed the SQF-like portion of fq_codel entirely, for example), but it is really nice to have seen Jim's paper go from "so-called" in 2011, to "seminal" in 2013. These are worth reading thoroughly. I will wait until saturday to comment further. -- Dave Täht
