I'd like to point out that the really good patches (the ECN fix, SFB, CHOKe) landed upstream so fast that a stay in debloat-testing was almost not necessary. Highest on my personal lists of "would likes": 1) I would certainly like to see the AQMs above thoroughly tested with some new shaper scripts now that they are in the rc1 kernel! (did those patches get backported into openwrt?) As for moving further with debloat-testing: JG will be back from Europe April 3rd-ish. I'm traveling up the East Coast starting sunday, making stops at gatech, washington, DC, Philly, Boston, and Illinois, before getting to California in late April. So I'm trying to assemble a build system (for multiple distros) that works before hacking on kernels any more, personally. It's far better to light up the new server (huchra) for 13 minutes than making my laptop glow for 2 hours... but it's not quite there yet. Friday, I hope? With a little help?? Technically I'm trying to get a grip on the "day in the life of a TCP stream", to see where latencies are introduced across the stack. Patches I'd love to see: IWL patch More work on instrumenting eBDP, Wireless, Ath9k, A USB wireless stick... Support for per-device TCP algorithms. TCP-FIT, anyone? I was under the impression there were several other packet schedulers in the works and there was some iptables connection tracking work that seemed interestin= g > > Let me know if there are problems! > > John > -- > John W.
