Good general jumping off point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_scheduler The wikipedia 'network performance' category, lists lots of things that might be worth describing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Network_performance In particular, here are links from things that the glossary already mentions or might want to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughput https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughput#Channel_utilization_and_efficiency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_limiting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodput https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_Congestion_Notification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoDel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat Thanks, -- Matt Taggart matt@lackof.org
