I don't know if you are referring to the "RED in a different light"
paper: that was never published, though an early draft escaped and can
be found on the net.

"RED in a different light" identifies two bugs in the RED algorithm,
and
proposes a better algorithm that only depends on the link output
bandwidth.  That draft still has a bug.

I also noticed another paper published later that references "RED in a
different light":

Adaptive RED: An Algorithm for Increasing the Robustness of RED's Active
Queue Management (postscript, PDF).

And this one:

But it doesn't look like aRED went anywhere
