Folks,

I have uploaded a presentation of high-fidelity network performance measures which includes an example of bufferbloat in high resolution, as possibly you have never seen it before.

See slide 18 of this deck: https://www.slideshare.net/mgeddes/stationarity-is-the-new-speed. The classic "bloat" is a sudden formation of the queue, and a very slow (and steady) draining. Bufferbloat is just one form of statistical variability ("non-stationarity") in packet networks.

For a world record winner, see this one where packets take over a minute (Huawei WiFi hotspot roaming in Ireland with UK SIM)! Or for a pretty picture of buffers draining, try this one.

Happy to answer any questions.

Martin Geddes
