What Can I Do About Bufferbloat?

I am immensely cheered up by the progress reports contributed by so many on this thread. But, can I ask that if you grok it, go fix it for two friends? Go fix it for a local small business, a coffee shop, or a hotel. And ask your ISP to fix it in their default gear?

There's probably over 2b routers without bufferbloat fixes installed, and only if we work together to get them deployed will the internet as a whole get better, more capable of handling web, games, videoconferencing, and other applications that demand consistent low latency.

Thanks.

Thanks for everything that you do, Dave. Your bufferbloat and WiFi work is excellent, and I'm excited for the airtime fairness work with Toke to make it into more 802.11 drivers than ath9k. Cheers.

I was essentially in a overwork-induced coma for the last 18 months. The work was carried forward by (many, many) others.

I was happy to wake up a few weeks back, and find RFC8290 published, and sch_cake being readied for mainline, and multiple commercial products finally shipping what we'd worked on all these years.
