[Cerowrt-devel] will starlink have bufferbloat?

[Cerowrt-devel] will starlink have bufferbloat?

[Dave Taht]

With the first major starlink launch stuck on the pad, and having
never got a straight answer about how starlink was going to manage
satellite handovers and admission control, I came up with an
"annoyer-in-chief" idea to see if we could find out what the plan was.

If everybody here (500+ members of these mailing lists!) could take 2
minutes to compose an interesting tweet or reply to elon musk on the
subject, maybe we'd get somewhere. I just did one (
https://twitter.com/mtaht/status/1131131277413822464 ) but a huge
variety of posts on the theme are possible, other thoughts were things
like:

@elonmusk There seems to be no intelligent life among ISPs down here.
Has #starlink handled the #bufferbloat problem? (
https://blog.tohojo.dk/media/bufferbloat-and-beyond.pdf  )

@elonmusk Keep hoping #bufferbloat will be solved by #starlink - got a
plan? ( https://blog.tohojo.dk/media/bufferbloat-and-beyond.pdf )

do it on replies to anything he says about starlink, keep doin it, and
perhaps, an answer will appear.

Sometimes ya gotta be loud.

And I tried my first ever post to reddit, not realizing it didn't take html....

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/brn6gg/will_starlink_have_bufferbloat/

and slashdot also.

[Cerowrt-devel] Does Ubiquiti Unifi have bufferbloat and unfair/bloated WiFi scheduling?

[David P. Reed]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1034 bytes --]


I have been chatting with a startup in the Multi-User Dwelling networking operations space, and they seem to really be attracted to Ubiquiti Unifi systems. I can't blame them for wanting a comprehensive and evolving system.
 
But on the questions related to bufferbloat and making wifi both low latency and fast, I really don't know much about these products. (I have a Unifi 10 Gb/sec switch as my home/lab fiber backbone, but that's not really relevant to answering this question).
 
So, since you, Dave, and others have been talking about real-world fq_codel etc. and faster wifi scheduling, does anyone know what the status at Ubiquiti is?
 
I know some here run OpenWRT/LEDE on Unifi APs, but that's not my question, really.
 
Any knowledge out there?
 
(I'd like to recommend that they run some actual load tests - flent RRUL, etc. - but I think they might need some help).
Personally I have no stake whatever in their use, but I'd love to get someone to start solving the bloat and queueing/scheduling problems.

Sorry, I can't help - I never spend time or effort on Twitter, Reddit, etc. because I see no value and lots of problems in doing that.
 
Musk probably wouldn't love my views on most of his companies, anyway.
I hope he gets something right on this one.

Re: [Cerowrt-devel] [Make-wifi-fast] Does Ubiquiti Unifi have bufferbloat and unfair/bloated WiFi scheduling?

[Jim Gettys]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2020 bytes --]

I'm running OpenWrt on the Unifi AC Mesh access point; (it has an ath10k
chip). It sits on a pole above my ridgeline and provides service to my
house and yard.

I dunno what the state in the Ubiquity provided firmware is.

OpenWrt has the nice new wifi code in it, which indeed really fixes
bufferbloat.

As I also have an ath9k in my laptop and run Linux, I now even do
(previously insane) things like have my scheduled backups go over WiFi while
teleconferencing, and I'm a happy camper.

Getting OpenWrt installed on it the first time is a bit of a chore; I have
some notes around someplace on what I learned when I did the install.

There is some guaranteed staleness in the document.

Unless you are in a hurry, I'm planning to do a fresh install on new kit in
a few weeks and will update then with current experience. I'll post them
then...  The router uses a different bootloader/flash arrangement, and so
is a bit of a hassle relative to most routers.

If you are in a hurry, I'll email you the document I have (my son
successfully followed them), so they are not complete rubbish.

[Dave Taht]

Well, I was encouraged by a job listing (which I put in for a few
minutes after they successfully deployed the first batch)

In that it implies that they have solutions to a variety of issues,
need someone to write 'em down, and plan to use linux for the ground
stations.
