Hi all,

in our paper "Policy-oriented AQM Steering" that will be published
at Networking 2018 shortly, we used also plain GSP and
CoDel for comparison. Maybe this is convincing enough that GSP is
also worth to be considered as alternative. We especially found
it much easier to implement AQM Steering for GSP since GSP's
implementation is simpler than others.

The basic idea of AQM Steering is to modify the delay target
setpoint of the AQM in order to adapt to the current traffic
situation:
Depending on the traffic the same setpoint value can result either
in unnecessary large delays or under-utilization of the link.
Policy-oriented AQM Steering automatically adapts the target delay
setpoint to the current traffic situation, in order to fulfill a
given quality-of-service policy.
Such a policy consists of a utilization goal and an upper delay bound.
This improves AQM performance with varying traffic situations and makes
the impact of deploying an AQM predictable. A prototypical
implementation of AQM Steering for GSP showed its performance advantages
compared to static AQM variants at speeds of 10 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s.
