Abstract
This memo presents two recommendations to the Internet community
concerning measures to improve and preserve Internet performance.
It presents a strong recommendation for testing, standardization,
and widespread deployment of active queue management in routers,
to improve the performance of today's Internet. It also urges a
concerted effort of research, measurement, and ultimate deployment
of router mechanisms to protect the Internet from flows that are
not sufficiently responsive to congestion notification.
