[Cerowrt-devel] Got Bloat?

[Rich Brown]

I'm riding on the bus to Boston. It's wifi equipped, but the
connection's terribly slow.  A ping (attached) shows:

- No responses for 10 seconds, then the first ping returns.  (!)
- This trace gets as bad as 12 seconds, but I have seen another with 20 seconds

I wonder what it would take to get the bus company to talk to their
radio vendor,
and get a better SQM in their router and head end...
