    Ah, now that was what I was looking for. Thanks for the clarification. Though AFAIK windows has similar issues, but whatever.

    Flash supports WebM as well. And there are HTML5 JS libs that can fallback to Flash from the video tag.

  20. Re:Dropped packets are "good" on Bufferbloat — the Submarine That's Sinking the Net · · Score: 1

    ECN ought to take care of that.

  21. Re:Definition, please on Bufferbloat — the Submarine That's Sinking the Net · · Score: 1

    On high overload factors (common on consumer ISPs), simply limiting per application/protocol, does not decongest the network enough. Example: VoIP - if everybody and their grandma are using it, who cares you've practically shutdown torrent trafic, the routers are still overloaded, and latency is crap, the application itself, or the OS should throttle on request via ECN, or dropping packets at the inbound edge routers ought to usually provide then needed behavior - though you need ECN in the network always. That's not very common, AFAIK.

  22. Re:Definition, please on Bufferbloat — the Submarine That's Sinking the Net · · Score: 1

    HTTP and Bittorrent are not transport (OSI link/session) protocols, they are presentation/application protocols, depending on usage. As for TCP, it has congestion a avoidance algorithm - ECN, and IMHO would work well with buffers, but AFAIK, no one uses it.

  23. Re:Definition, please on Bufferbloat — the Submarine That's Sinking the Net · · Score: 1

    Buffering, with ECN and slight bandwidth overestimation ought to solve that, thing is, no one uses ECN, AFAIK.
