I suspect not enough people are aware of the later efforts of the
bufferbloat team, so I'm thinking of one or two articles, starting with
LWN and an audience of aficionados.
The core community is aware of what we've done, but in my view we
haven't converted "grandma". Grandma, as well as a whole bunch of
ordinary engineers and partners of engineers, are dependent on debloated
performance because they're working at home now, and competing with
granddaughter playing video games while they're trying to hold a video call.
Right now, my colleagues at work suffer from more than a second of
bloat-related lag. They therefore tend to speak over each other on
con-calls, apologize, start again and talk over each other, again. After
a little while, the picture becomes a distinctly silly one: a bunch of
grown adults putting their hands up and waving, like little kids in
school. No-one has called out “me, me, teacher” yet, but I expect it any
time.
I propose we show the results in terms that we can explain to Grandma,
specifically concentrating on functioning VOIP. I just upgraded to
Fedora 31, and the networking is absolutely stock, so I make a perfect
victim/guinea-pig (;-))
Who's interested?
