Better Bandwidth Utilization

Posted by michael on from the neat-hack dept.

jtorin writes "Daniel Hartmeier (of OpenBSD fame) has written a short but interesting article which explains how to better utilize available bandwidth. In short it gives priority to TCP ACKs over other types of traffic, thereby making it possible to max both upload and download bandwidth simultaenously. Be sure to check ot the nice graphs! Also note the article on OpenBSD Journal. OpenBSD 3.3 beta is now stable enough for daily use, so why not download a snapshot from one of the mirrors and try it out?"

    Elegy For *BSD

    I am a *BSD user
    and I try hard to be brave
    That is a tall order
    *BSD's foot is in the grave.

    I tap at my toy keyboard
    and whistle a happy tune
    but keeping happy's so hard,
    *BSD died so soon.

    Each day I wake and softly sob
    Nightfall finds me crying
    Not only am I a zit faced slob
    but *BSD is dying.

    so exactly how many people is this comment directed to? I mean, might we get as much as 1% of the readership checking out the graphs before certain unfortunate server suffers a horrible death / temporary trauma?

    Why did my TV suddenly decide that I wanted to see three specials about Michael Jackson every week?

    Because your TiVo thinks you want to watch them.
