Yeah, I have encountered this type of problem in many forms.  It seems that 
there are fundamental misunderstandings of the problem.  This seems prevalent 
in expert networking communities from people who have the knowledge, but, 
perhaps have not thought the problem through thoroughly.  

I guess we are just working at cross-purposes with other communities.  Perhaps 
there is no cure for this problem and maybe we just have to accept and embrace 
it.

Yup: author makes a classic, and I fear common, wrong assumption about 
tradeoffs in queuing systems.  

Latency is minimized throughout the operating range if a queue is not allowed 
to form. TCP consciously sees a queue as congestion and avoids having it.  

Bufferboat causes queuing, and degrades both (low) latency and
      throughput, trying to  drive the link toward congestive collapse. 
      The worst of all possible worlds!

In this case it also tries to drive Dave Taht's circulation system
      into collapse, which is doubly ungood.

I didn't get past the first sentence. "The question boils down to quantify 
buffer sizes and yet achieve 100%
utilization on links with maximum throughput at a feasible cost. " My goal has 
always been to have minimal induced latency and reasonable
utilization, and also to keep my blood pressure low. Reading further
strikes me as damaging to both goals. On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 5:12 AM, Fred
