Rod,

Mostly RED/ECN queues with very small marking thresholds, e.g., Kmin=5KB and Kmax=120KB, the exact setting differs from algorithm to algorithm. 
The purpose is to achieve very high link utilization (close to 100%) and at the same time maintains small queue size to minimize queueing delay.
The RoCE clusters in cloud have been using RED/ECN for years, and at scale.


A new algorithm even propose to use WRED to speed up the first RTT transmission rate.

Huichen,

What type of queues are used for the low-latency ROCE traffic?
