Glad this came up as I have been reading this paper - Does Figure 1 in
seem reasonable ? Will 100 RED TCP flows really only fill 90% of a 155 Mbps pipe but 87% of a 2.4 Gbps connection and 75% of a 4.8 Gbps connection ? This seems strangely non-linear to me. A more fundamental question is, is this really useful except in the case of very high bandwidth single flows (such as e-VLBI or particle physics or uncompressed HDTV). After all, isn't the current standard practice not to come close to fully utilizing backbone bandwidth ? Regards Marshall Eubanks On Wednesday, June 4, 2003, at 10:40 PM, Allan Liska wrote:

Is it real?
It it open source?
Are there any implementations available?
Here's the white paper detailing it:

Here is their home page:

It doesn't look like they have production code available at this point, but it looks like it could be interesting.
