This paragraph intends to give a brief history of AQM, in which RFC2309 has
played a very important role. I do think we think we should include it
here. I will change its reference as the following,
³Back in 1998, RFC 2309[RFC2309]
    strongly recommended the adoption of AQM schemes in the network to
    improve the performance of the Internet."


I changed IETF-AQM to RFC7567 and added a reference to RED.

Thanks,
