Internet broke? Again?
Speaker: Michael RichardsonAs networks have gotten faster, the equipment to operate them has been upgraded. Moore's Law has worked in our favour: giving us sweeter experiences. But like sugar, too much leads to an illness: bufferbloat. The faster and newer your equipment, the worse it likely is.
This talk will explain what bufferbloat is, how you can detect it, what the industry is doing (or not doing) about it, and how you can sometimes work around it.
keywords: codel, fq_codel, bufferbloat.net, torrent, powerboost, latency, hidden buffers
