So in a scenario with a fixed (wall mounted outdoor unit) LTE device BQL could work quite well as the radio will not fluctuate too much. But for a mobil "pocket router" being carried around an AQL approach would be needed? -Erik _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
