So short transactions such as dchp, ra, short RPC transactions, VOIP, etc fly through the router relative to bulk TCP flows. This algorithm does really wonderful things for any flow that is a "good citizen" by pacing their traffic at their share of available bandwidth, rather than bursting their traffic. For the first time, there is incentive to be a "good citizen" in your behavior. > > > rick jones > > _______________________________________________ > Bloat mailing list > Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net > https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat >
