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?"

    Check out this company's technology called "Any Bandwidth". It is a pretty solid implementation that works at a user space level. It allows application developers to take advantage the maximum bandwidth available without having to modify a firewall; http://www.eyeball.com/company/anybandwidth.html It is pretty good solution that my company licenced for use in a video game
