I agree.  But I do have a question: is there a Best Practices RFC for 
setting buffer sizes in the existing corpus?  The Internet community has 
been pretty good at setting reasonable standards and recommendations, so 
a pointer to a BCP or RFC would go much farther to solve the bufferbloat 
problem, as I believe administrators would prefer the "suggestion" 
instead of ham-handed regulation.

But that's just me.  I do know there has been academic research on the 
subject, but don't recall seeing the results published as a practical 
operational RFC.

(And this is very much on-topic for NANOG, as it is about encouraging 
our peers to implement effective operation in their networks, and in 
their connections with others.)
