Re: Questions about article in IEEE Communications

I have gotten a number of inquiries regarding an article I allegedly wrote 
in IEEE Communications.

I'm sort of an honorary author. Ms. Yang did the real work, along with 
Martin Westhead <[email protected]>; I commented. The real 
reason I am listed is that I (as Cisco) funded the development of the 
simulation tool she tested the concepts on.

What she showed was that given appropriate traffic engineering and an 
algorithm that preserved traffic marked one way from being dropped but 
permitted dropping of traffic in the same queue marked another way, that 
the intended-to-be-preserved traffic could be preserved. What she did not 
explore, for reasons that remain unknown to me, was what happened to the 
sessions from which traffic was dropped, and the effects of the delay 
induced by the queue on the voice traffic being simulated.

As a result, I consider the paper fundamentally flawed.
