Is Your Internet Connection Free From Bufferbloat? (blogspot.com)

Bufferbloat is that "undesirable latency that comes from a router or other network equipment buffering too much data," according to the site for an ongoing project trying to address it. Now long-time Slashdot reader mtaht writes:Inside the lede-project, two core new bufferbloat-fighting techniques are poised to enter the linux mainline kernel and thousands of routers -- the first being a fq-codel'd and airtime fair scheduler for wifi, and the second, the new "cake" qdisc, which outperforms fq_codel across the board for shaping inbound and outbound connections.
His submission ends with a question for Slashdot readers. "It's been nearly six years since the start of the bufferbloat project. Have you or has your ISP fixed your bufferbloat yet?"

bad you should immediately turn off you internet fo for 30 days to "reset" it....

Say, I wasn't born yesterday. I know very well that if I just disconnect the cables and put the router in the microwave for 45 seconds at 50% power it'll do the same thing.
