  1. Irreducibly complex on Top 10 Evolutionary Adaptations · · Score: 1

    Remember: Evolution is still a theory, although a very convincing one.

    A very thought-provoking alternative to the theory of Evolution:

  2. Re:You don't need gigabit on Gigabit Networking for the Home? · · Score: 1

    Sorry to reply to myself, but I got excited reading about Wondershaper... it's a wonder this isn't more popular! By slightly limiting upload/download bandwidth the ISP's or modem's upload/download buffers never fill and *my* Linux router can control how much to buffer. I'll be able to send my packets right at my SSH servers with much less perceptable lag, even while downloading. Should also give gamers a boost. Nice!

    Example (from the README):
    Baseline latency:
    round-trip min/avg/max = 14.4/17.1/21.7 ms

    Without traffic conditioner, while downloading:
    round-trip min/avg/max = 560.9/573.6/586.4 ms

    Without traffic conditioner, while uploading:
    round-trip min/avg/max = 2041.4/2332.1/2427.6 ms

    With conditioner, during 220kbit/s upload:
    round-trip min/avg/max = 15.7/51.8/79.9 ms

    With conditioner, during 850kbit/s download:
    round-trip min/avg/max = 20.4/46.9/74.0 ms

    Very, very trick! I'm going to have to play with this... probably mirror it too...

    Thanks man!

    The wondershaper is the kernel of what I did to get that kind of performance.


    Wow! Wondershaper looks like it'll do to my DSL uplink like the preempt patches did to mp3z on my old Pentium 133/40MB :-)

    Preempt iz da shiznat and when they start rolling OpenSSI for 2.6 kernels I'll be a home cluster user, no doubt ;-)

    Thanx for the info.
  4. Multicasting on Gigabit Networking for the Home? · · Score: 1

    Just a thought: consider multicasting for around-the-house media distribution.

    If you really want network performance, go check out the Linux advanced router/ traffic control site. (lartc.org) There, you'll learn to get lightning response from ssh and your first person shooters, all while running a 2gig/month web server through your home dsl's 256K uplink. And it won't cost you a dime.


    I've been using Linux for years but I must admit I'm intrigued... I've seen this HOWTO but I've been lost. Care to explain where I might find, in this HOWTO, how to get fast SSH while sharing 2gig/month web on a DSL 256K uplink? I'm intrigued :-)
