I'm sure the HSPA+ modem is a binary blob. For regulatory reasons, if nothing else... When I said open, I did not mean the ultimate ideal. Hardware devices with firmware are often sold as black boxes. Fixing the bloat in HSPA+ and LTE systems will require organizations like Ericsson, ALU and Cisco and Huawei to get their acts together and fix their own bugs. -----Original Message----- From: "Jim Gettys" Sent: Friday, December 21, 2012 1:14pm To: "David P Reed" Cc: "Dave Taht" , "bloat-devel" , "cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net" , "codel@lists.bufferbloat.net" Subject: Re: [Cerowrt-devel] hardware hacking on fq_codel in FPGA form at 10GigE On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 12:48 PM, <[mailto:dpreed@reed.com] dpreed@reed.com> wrote: And if you want an open tablet the ODROID U2 there is pretty nice for <$900 all in, including an HSPA+ modem w/GPS. I can only imagine what one can do with this.... Often the modem bits are binary blobs.
