Subject: [Bloat] Bufferbloat glossary
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2020 11:10:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E43517EEC1363201680575BA@[172.27.17.193]> (raw)

I get a bit lost with all the jargon and acronyms in use on this list. Is 
there a glossary somewhere? (Ideally a wiki so we can all expand it.) I've 
picked up a lot over my years running Linux servers but this list is a good 
example of how the more you know, the more you realize how ignorant you 
are. ;)

For example, in today's message from David P. Reed I find "EDF" and "ACID". 
The rest of his post reminds me a lot of the kinds of issues one runs into 
with real-time multiplayer video games. I don't write those but I've always 
been fascinated with how they work and their limitations. (Think about how 
many high-end consumer routers target gamers who are looking for a magic 
bullet to combat the lag that just got their character 
killed.)"Videoconferencing" is really just a special case of a massively 
multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
