<abstract>
<t>

      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.
