[Cake] [Rpm] [Bloat] [Make-wifi-fast] The most wonderful video ever about bufferbloat

[Bob McMahon]

I agree that bufferbloat awareness is a good thing. The issue I have is the
approach - ask consumers to "detect it" and replace a device with a new
one, that may or may not, meet all the needs of the users.

Better is that network engineers "design bloat out" from the beginning
starting by properly sizing queues to service jitter, and for WiFi, to also
enable aggregation techniques that minimize TXOP consumption.
