Wow, excellent post Jim!

Great summary of the progress and status as of this date.

It is indeed hard to believe more in the industry don’t get it or if they do, adopt it.

Also, loved this: “How many of you have successfully configured your home router QOS page, without losing hair from your head.” Which is why the IQrouter has no QoS UI, just a couple of buttons to re-start the automatic optimization run if you change service levels. Everything else is hidden. 

And there is some hope for ISPs, as a very Woke local ISP now rents / sells IQrouters to their users, as it was the only way to keep their rural DSL and Cable customers happy. But I had to spend four hours (across multiple meetings) educating them on the topic of bufferbloat and its mitigations. 

Thanks again,
