<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I reacted mostly on the extremely low throughput in the top post in the twitter thread, it is possible that radio link failure caused a large amount of bloat in this case.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The amount of buffer bloat in 5G systems is quite vendor specific. So it is hard to give any good numbers what one can expect.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">But sure, seconds of bloat is gross overkill and possible evidence that AQM is disabled. Typically the AQM on the network side handles the downlink traffic, while for the uplink traffic
the AQM needs to be on the modem side. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">L4S, which is being standardized in 3GPP can reduce bloat quite considerably, but one need to realize that L4S does perhaps not fit for all traffic.
