[Cerowrt-devel] [Bloat] Latest codel, fq_codel, and pie sim study from cablelabs now available

[Greg White]

This presumes that UDP is the only traffic that is latency sensitive (we
also consider web traffic to be latency sensitive), and that TCP carries
the bulk data that causes problems for latency sensitive traffic (AFAIK
BitTorrent uTP is layered on top of UDP).

I'm not sure that a TCP/UDP distinction ends up helping in the end.
