Comments to the author: The paper introduces the Multi-Level Comparison (MLC) queue management scheme. MLC is a stateless active queue management scheme that makes TCP/IP network to approach max-min fairness. The paper is a very important contribution and it is well written. Therefore, the reviewer definitely recommends to accept it. --------------------------------------- Reviewers Familiarity: 3 Evaluation of work and contribution: 7 Significance to theory and practice: 5 Originality and novelty: 6 Relevance for NET-COOP: 7 Readability and organization: 9 Overall recommendation: 6 **(0 = no mark set by reviewer)** Summary: This paper is clear and well written. It perfectly fits main topics of this Conference. The authors present a class of stateless AQM schemes called MLC(l), with l as an index. They show that for an arbitrary network topology of TCP flows, the resource allocation obtained using MLC(l) converges to max-min fair as l increases.

The algorithm is essentially randomly samples the queue at each incoming packet and drops the packet depending on the number of samples that belong to the same flow as te arriving packet. The authors show that this scheme provides a power-law drop (power law wrt the throughput of flows). The performance analysis seems solid in Sec 2.2 and there is sufficient algorithmic novelty in this paper.
