alt Hacker NewsDave Täht was my initial motivation to get serious about getting into low level networking more than 8 years ago. Ever since then I’ve had the honor to co-develop various systems on multi terabit ISP routers. I’m really thankful for the insights he provided as I was trying to figure out how to configure WRED hardware blocks in our network ASICs. Men like Dave was one in hundred million if that. May he be forever remembered and his work live on forever.
Sorry to hijack this but your role has me curious.
What - if any - are the barriers to implementing FQ-Codel or a similar scheme in forwarding ASICs? To my mind with limited knowledge managing all those separate queues sounds like it could be challenging in hardware.
