# Managing a Queue to a Soft Delay Target

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a method to incorporate a soft delay target into active queue management algorithms like PIE and PI2, aiming to improve their adaptability to network dynamics.

## Contribution

It adapts the core concept of Curvy RED to more dynamic AQMs, addressing the limitations of fixed delay targets in existing algorithms.

## Key findings

- Enhanced delay management in AQMs with soft delay targets
- Improved adaptability to network dynamics
- Potential for more stable queue behavior

## Abstract

This memo proposes to transplant the core idea of Curvy RED, the softened delay target, into AQMs that are better designed to deal with dynamics, such as PIE or PI2, but that suffer from the weakness of a fixed delay target.
