The Cable Industry has been investigating techniques for mitigating the Bufferbloat (www.bufferbloat.net) condition seen on the Internet. CableLabs has selected an Active Queue Management (AQM) technique called PIE (Proportional Integral controller Enhanced) as part of the DOCSIS 3.1 standards. In advance of AQM capable DOCSIS 3.1 equipment becoming available, Comcast has conducted a field trial using a static queue management approach. The goal of the trial was to measure the impact of a bufferbloat mitigation technique implemented on Comcast leased DOCSIS 3.0 modems. This presentation shares the trial methodology, results obtained, and success & challenges encountered.
