I am Michael and the founder of IPFire, so if you have any questions, = feel free to reach out. We have been a very early adopter for anything Bufferbloat and I have = been trying to support Dave as much as possible. We have been running = some bechmarks and validating that fq_codel as it was proposed and = implemented in the Linux kernel works, and the results were obviously = overwhelming. Within a couple of releases, fq_codel was enabled by = default, and there was virtually no way to disable it any more because = nobody ever would want to have slow internet ever again. I wrote a little blog post: = https://www.ipfire.org/blog/ipfire-2-13-tech-preview-fighting-bufferbloat And two articles in the German computer magazine c=E2=80=99t in 2013 - = how time flies: https://www.ipfire.org/blog/ipfire-in-c-t-magazine-20-13 It seems that the links are no longer loading to the article for me :( Since then we have of course migrated to a mix of fq_codel and CAKE and = there have been a couple of researchers posting articles on benchmarking = various firewall distros where IPFire always scores really well - if not = winning - and a lot of that is thanks to fighting Bufferbloat and us = being smart in how we arrange our firewall rules. Of course IPFire is totally free, so give it a try!
