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.
