Linux 3.3: Making a Dent In Bufferbloat?

Posted by Unknown on from the drop-15-packets-in-ten-minutes-a-day dept.

mtaht writes "Has anyone, besides those that worked on byte queue limits, and sfqred, had a chance to benchmark networking using these tools on the Linux 3.3 kernel in the real world? A dent, at least theoretically, seems to be have made in bufferbloat, and now that the new kernel and new iproute2 are out, should be easy to apply in general (e.g. server/desktop) situations." Dear readers: Have any of you had problems with bufferbloat that were alleviated by the new kernel version?

    I've had all sort of trouble with bloat of all kinds since I turned 40.
    You name it, it's become bloated: buffers, bellies, butts, pretty much everything.

    A stealth plane analogy. I didn't see that coming!
