Although Sally insists that TFRC could achieve smooth sending rates of real-time applications, (in fact, TFRC is smoother than TCP) RED is not a good router mechanism for real-time applications which would adopt TFRC as their congestion control mechanism.
I think that dropping strategy of RED is to simplified and it cannot avoid "random drops" which is quite bad for TFRC flows, which uses weighted sum of last n packet drop intervals to estimate current fair share.
In conclude, I think that their should be another router mechanisms to avoid these "random packet drops".
Is their any discussions on this?
