A Possible Cause of AT&T's Wireless Clog — Configuration Errors

Posted by timothy on from the three-card-monty-design dept.

AT&T customers (iPhone users notably among them) have seen some wireless congestion in recent months; Brough Turner thinks the trouble might be self-inflicted. According to Turner, the poor throughput and connection errors can be chalked up to "configuration errors specifically, congestion collapse induced by misconfigured buffers in their mobile core network." His explanation makes an interesting read.

    Yeah that's what he said... I think you somehow missed that. The bad thing about slashdot is that once you make a mistake like that, it pretty much stays that way...forever. How embarrassing for you. As further proof of your misreading, just before he said "...the only telco in Australia..." he said "...connecting a bunch of countries."
