Ah yeah, the article was about local NVMe, so the concern is probably not relevant here.
Isn't IPv6 widely deployed in china? Most major bittorrent clients have partial or complete IPv6 support these days - although IPv6 DHT support is still lacking apart from Transmission and BiglyBT.

But I don't know about the state of things of the multi-network clients which are popular china.

I am curious, what kind of write characteristics can manage to saturate a 255s timeout on a storage device that does 10k+ iops and gigabytes per second throughput? Normally writes slowing down leads to backpressure because the syscalls issueing them take longer to return.

I can imagine some crazy random access, small-record, vectored IO from large thread pools. But that's not exactly common because most software that is IO-heavy tries really hard to avoid these things.
