I am a bit confused by the last paragraph. I understand why one would implement active queue management algorithms in middleboxes like cable/DSL modems, but I am not sure how AQM on a set top box would help with bufferbloat. I guess I could come up with some very narrow cases in which an endpoint would benefit from advance buffer management techniques for self generated competing flows, but this would be very artificial and of no use in the real world.
That's a quote from telecom-paristech.fr; it may be a mis-translation, or they may be referring to cable modems as "set top" devices. -- Randell Jesup randell-ietf@jesup.org
