This specification defines a framework for coupling the Active Queue
Management (AQM) algorithms in two queues intended for flows with
different responses to congestion. This provides a way for the
Internet to transition from the scaling problems of standard
TCP-Reno-friendly ('Classic') congestion controls to the family of
'Scalable' congestion controls. These are designed for consistently
very low queuing latency, very low congestion loss, and scaling of
per-flow throughput by using Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
in a modified way. Until the Coupled Dual Queue (DualQ), these
Scalable L4S congestion controls could only be deployed where a
clean-slate environment could be arranged, such as in private data
centres.

This specification first explains how a Coupled DualQ works. It then
gives the normative requirements that are necessary for it to work
well. All this is independent of which two AQMs are used, but
pseudocode examples of specific AQMs are given in appendices.

This document is a product of the Transport Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF.
