Hi cerowrt-devel,

The Glossary at
  http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Glossary
is pretty sparse and needs some editing, here are some suggestions:

Probably thanks to the effort of people on this list, Wikipedia (now) has a 
bunch of good pages, lists of terminology, queuing disciplines, 
bufferbloat, etc

I think it's still useful to have some definitions in the Glossary, but 
maybe it can now refer to wikipedia pages for a lot of things (and if 
needed more things could be added to wikipedia).

Good general jumping off point
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_scheduler

The wikipedia 'network performance' category, lists lots of things that 
might be worth describing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Network_performance

In particular, here are links from things that the glossary already 
mentions or might want to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughput
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughput#Channel_utilization_and_efficiency
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_limiting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodput
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_Congestion_Notification
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoDel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat

Thanks,
