> Abstract:
>   This note presents CodelAF, or Controlled Delay Approximate Fairness
>   in full, as an alternative to single-queue AQM or Fair Queue
>   implementations in the low-cost or high-speed network hardware
>   spaces.  It builds on the seminal work in Codel [RFC8289], and guides
>   multiple competing flows towards similar throughputs by differential
>   congestion signalling, whilst requiring only a single FIFO queue.  It
>   may also be combined with CNQ [I-D.morton-tsvwg-cheap-nasty-queueing]
>   to provide a latency optimisation for sparse flows.

This -01 update adds a description of Twin-CodelAF, a simple method of adapting CodelAF to the task of providing a low-latency Diffserv PHB, with flow-fairness both between and within the traffic classes.  These properties obviate the usual need to perform admission control on a Diffserv class.

We have a proof-of-concept implementation in the usual place.  We should be able to make this a bit more mature in the coming days, improving the signalling performance and making it more configurable.  We've also added a similar capability to LFQ.  So we expect to talk more about this a little later.
