• September 2016: The contents of this site have now moved

They are largely documented, implemented, or built into one of the following sites:

• Canonical site for all things related to Bufferbloat - http://www.bufferbloat.net
• Dave Täht's blog that describes his investigations - http://blog.cerowrt.org/
• Flent - reliable, repeatable, and automated network tester - https://flent.org/
• Bufferbloat/Codel/Make-WiFi-Fast mailing lists - https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/
• Current version of the RRUL Specification - https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/RRUL_Spec/

--- from the old README.org ---

• Various scripts for less bufferbloated fair queuing, traffic shaping, etc

The principal item of interest in this repository is the [[src/debloat]] lua script which incorporates everything I know about how to get reduced latencies under load on wireless and ethernet.

• There are also tests and test results in the test dir

All of varying quality. I'll get better about automating these over time.

• Some thank yous

My thanks to everyone in the debloating community for their hard work over the last year to address the bufferbloat issue. That list is far too long:

Tom Herbert: Byte Queue Limits - which takes a big bite out of the bloat and help all the other algorithms work once again...

Eric Dumazet: an unbelievable number of fixes and improvements to RED, ARED, SFB, SFQ, and a genuinely new combination of ideas in REDSFQ.

Jon Corbet of LWN: For writing some of the most informative articles on the problem and keeping the community up to date.

The linux 'netdev' mailing list - Notably Dave Miller and Steve Hemminger the linux-wireless mailing list - John Linville

Jim Gettys, Van Jacobson, Kathie Nichols, Vint Cerf, John Nagle, and the huge list of researchers that developed some of the algorithms we've played with...

Alcatel-lucent: for supporting jg on his quest....

ISC.org and LINCS.fr : for their kind donations of hardware, rack space, offices, time and energy -

Georgia Tech, Stanford, MIT, and a bunch of folk from various other universities around the world that I'll have to collect and post....

The 150+ members of the bufferbloat.net wiki... The 300+ members of the bloat and cerowrt mailing lists... the 25+ standing members of the #bloat irc channel...

Huge contributions from various members of the #openwrt irc channel - notably nbd, jow, travis, junos, swalker....

Slashdot and other publications

ESR, Doc Searls, a whole bunch of bloggers credited elsewhere on the wiki (this very long list, I'll add you to this when I remember)

For more about the bufferbloat problems (of which many, many remain to be solved) see: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2071893 and http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2076798 -

If I missed anybody, I'm sorry. But a big thank you for joining into brain amplification.
