[Bloat] Bufferbloat at LUG talk - Meeting Report

[Jonathan Morton]

I think we're talking about the "many tabs open" problem.

But this bothers me as well, actually. Lots of tabs shouldn't affect the network unless some of the pages in them are actively transferring data for some reason. I've seen lots of pages that have heavy animation or Javascript in them, but unless Facebook is even nastier than I was previously aware of, that doesn't really translate to high network traffic.

On the other hand, actively browsing the Web does produce traffic. That is entirely feasible and even useful to do during a Skype call.

Which problems? I'm missing the relation to my original post.
