It all started when CS departments decided they didn't need EE courses or affiliation with EE depts., and continued with the idea that digital communications had nothing to do with the folks who design the gear, so all you needed to know was the bit layouts of packets in memory to be a "network

In short, people who build hardware devices, or device drivers, don't understand TCP. There is a first class education failure in all this. We have yet to find almost any device that isn't bloated; the only question is how badly. - Jim On Thu, Feb 28, 2

At least someone actually saw what I've been seeing for years now in Metro area HSPA and LTE deployments. As you know, when I first reported this on the e2e list I was told it could not possibly be happening and that I didn't know what I was talking about. No one in the phone companies was e

I've got a bit more insight into LTE than I did in the past, courtesy of the last couple days. To begin with, LTE runs with several classes of service (the call them bearers). Your VOIP traffic goes into one of them. And I think there is another as well that is for guaranteed bit rate traffic. O

Doesn't fq_codel need an estimate of link capacity? Where will it get that from the 4G or 3G uplink? -Original Message- From: "Maciej Soltysiak" Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 1:03pm To: cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net Subject: [Cerowrt-devel] Google working on experimental 3.8

A small suggestion. Instead of working on *algorithms*, focus on getting something actually *deployed* to fix the very real issues that we have today (preserving the option to upgrade later if need be). The folks who built the Internet (I was there, as you probably know) focused on making st

Hiya, Looks like Google's experimenting with 3.8 for Android: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/experimental/android-3.8 Sounds great if this means they will utilize fq_codel, TFO, BQL, etc. Anyway my nexus 7 says it has 3.1.10 and this 3.8 will probably go to Android 5.0 so I hope
