Got (Buffer) Bloat?

Posted by Roblimo on from the good-buffering-is-better-than-licking-a-cake-batter-bowl dept.

mtaht writes, "After a very intense month of development, the Bufferbloat project has announced the debloat-testing git kernel tree, featuring (via suggestion of Van Jacobson) a wireless network latency smashing algorithm, (called eBDP), the SFB and CHOKe packet schedulers, and a slew of driver level fixes that reduce network latency across the Linux kernel by over 2 orders of magnitude. Got Bloat?"

  1. Every packet is sacred by RevWaldo · · Score: 4, Funny

    Every packet is sacred.
    Every packet is great.
    If a packet is wasted,
    TCP gets quite irate.

    Let the heathen drop theirs
    When their RAM is spent.
    TCP shall make them pay for
    Each packet that can't be sent.

    Every packet is wanted.
    To this we are sworn.
    From real-time data from CERN
    To the filthiest of porn.

    Every packet is sacred.
    Every packet is great.
    If a packet is wasted,
    TCP gets quite irate.
