I've seen papers/posts for, against, and neutral on, various RED
flavors.  Rather than start a flame war or dig up bookmarks, I
decided to bring up the subject and effectively say "STFW". :-)

One probably should mention, too, that there are various queueing
disciplines besides the [seemingly] most ubiquitous RED.  Any
others would probably require consideration of hardware used.
