Re: [Cerowrt-devel] High Performance (SSH) Data Transfers using fq_codel?

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

One thing the HPC crowd has missed is that in their quest for big
buffers for contenental distances, they hurt themselves on shorter
ones...

... and also that big buffers with FQ on them works just fine in the
general case.

As always I recomend benchmarking - do a rrul test between the two
points, for example, with their recomendations.
