2309 Braden Apr 1998 Recommendations on Queue
Management and Congestion Avoidance
in the Internet
This memo presents two recommendations to the Internet community
concerning measures to improve and preserve Internet performance. It
presents a strong recommendation for testing, standardization, and
widespread deployment of active queue management in routers, to improve
the performance of today's Internet. It also urges a concerted effort
of research, measurement, and ultimate deployment of router mechanisms
to protect the Internet from flows that are not sufficiently responsive
to congestion notification. This memo provides information for the
Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind.
2308 Andrews Mar 1998 Negative Caching of DNS
Queries (DNS NCACHE)
RFC1034 provided a description of how to cache negative responses. It
however had a fundamental flaw in that it did not allow a name server to
hand out those cached responses to other resolvers, thereby greatly
reducing the effect of the caching. This document addresses issues
raise in the light of experience and replaces RFC1034 Section 4.3.4.
