Re: [Bloat] keeping the lights on at bufferbloat.net

Yes, the Irony is big on that.

If you want a logo, t-shirts and to spiff up the look and feel of the bufferbloat.net site, I’m happy to contribute a good graphic designer / web UI resource to the cause.

And while we are at it, we probably need a few more articles that are understandable by less technical audiences that clarify the relationship between latency and capacity. The artist can help illustrate any analogies, examples, etc. used in said articles.
One analogy I’m have her illustrate depicts an ambulance vs a Ferrari getting through traffic. The ’slower’ one has an advantage, it has traffic rules on its side ;-)

She’s also good at animations, so if you have a short sequence that clearly illustrates a key concept, we can try and get that produced.

We really need simple, mnemonic examples of why quick is better than fast.

Cheers,

Jonathan
