I could shave, dye my hair, get plastic surgery and pose as a student.

Failing that, mentor.

I regard the background bufferbloat detector idea as a week's inspired
hacking for 3 people - a weekend's with the right people - so we could
do that, then take the summer off. 

All the rate control algorithms under consideration could use study/
implementation. I wouldn't mind a math model of mesh networking. 

That said, where we have all seemed to bottleneck thus far has been on
good visualizations and test tools for bufferbloat. My mental vision for
packets flowing through the network looks a lot like gource.

I also dream of a router for the IPocolypse but that's more of a team
effort.

OK, I came up with one:

1) convince a web proxy like polipo or squid to use ECN marking on their
upstream, when the downstream starts to falter. This is a lot simpler
(in theory) than something like nRED as the two servo mechanisms can
talk to each other. It's hard because at least in polipo's case, it
wasn't designed to do that.
