Building on a previous suggestion:
Just to be clear, my suggestion is diametrically opposed to the list that

You are suggesting very tight queue management. By the mid-70's, Kleinrock
showed that these mechanisms do not work in the face of sustained
overload. They only work when the problem is transient.
Rather than trying to manage the congestion, I am suggesting that we throw
money at the problem, to overbuy space so that we don't have the problem.
