In the mean while, we've started work on various AQM and buffer management systems, at www.bufferbloat.net. SFB (Stochastic Fair Blue) went upstream into Linux to aid testing last month, and we have an implementation of eBDP as well with which we are experimenting. Wireless is much more of a challenge than the classic internet router case. Please come help.
In my context "Wireless" means "mobile" and the challenge there is that "I lost a packet" doesn't mean "there is congestion". It most likely means the user walked in front of a pole, the signal faded briefly, they dropped a packet and are perfectly fine now. So in that context, tcp/ip behaves as if it is seeing congestion when it is really seeing a momentary loss of connectivity that comes right back as soon as the end node moves 5 feet to the left. The right answer there might be ubiquitous support of ECN and treating packet loss in the absence of ECN as a connectivity issue and not a congestion issue but we are a long way from proper ECN support. I will have another look at the site, it has been a while since I was there last. George
