A couple meta comments: A) Most of this new stuff is not "open source" but "free" (libre) software. I have kind of despaired at the degradation of the term "Open", and the phrase "open source". Free is a lousy word also, and "libre" the closest thing we have left to the original spirit of sharing and mutual respect that the culture that birthed the modern internet in the 90s, had.
I have never been able to pay people (aside from vectoring grants in their direction), and am HUGE on always providing credit, because that was the only thing I had to give in exchange for huge amount of craftsmanship required to build truly great software. Sometimes, this means less code, rather than more! I'm rather proud of toke & felix & michal (and so many others) fq_codel for wifi implementation *removing* a net 200 lines of code. ( https://lwn.net/Articles/705884/ ) I'd like us to be looking hard at qosify ( https://forum.openwrt.org/t/qosify-new-package-for-dscp-marking-cake/111789/ ) as well, long term. B) in trying to make tcp rtt sensing performant and always on, with +1% more cpu... I find myself wondering where the 24% of 16 cores we're spending at 11gbit is really going!! Cache bandwidth is enormous... Dick Sites' recent book on tracing well thumbed. C) There are a ton of things (long term) that will impact future processing, some merely interesting, others genuinely useful. Examples of this include - sensing frequency and location of icmp "too big" messages, quic's spin bit, feed forwarding the rtt stats into dynamically shaping an instance to compensate for in-home wifi (does anyone actually know wtf plume is measuring and doing for their 2.2B valuation??), checking for correct tcp responses to ecn marks, and detecting ddos attacks... D) I would like us to always "upstream first", like redhat, and openwrt. REALLY high on my list is being able to track and extend "drop_reason" support in the kernel... _______________________________________________ LibreQoS mailing list LibreQoS@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/libreqos
