Bufferbloat, Fixing Internet Congestion

“The dark buffers that lead to Bufferbloat and the
congestion/latency problems that currently plague the internet are
almost everywhere. The Bufferbloat project intends to address these
problems by:

* Gathering together experts to tackle the queue management and
system problem(s), particularly those that effect wireless
networks
* Spreading the word to correct basic assumptions regarding goodput
and good buffering on the laptop, home gateway, core routers and
servers.
* Producing tools to demonstrate and diagnose the problem
* Experiments in advanced congestion management
* Producing patches to popular operating systems at the device
driver, queuing, and TCP/ip layers to fix the problems.

There are several mailing lists, git repositories, and people here
that are attempting to address the Bufferbloat issues at various
levels.”
