[Cerowrt-devel] [Bloat] facebook releases network test tool for slow and dodgy conditions

[Rich Brown]

I hope they *do* have bufferbloat in their emulator. It'd be a real shame if they failed to mimic the presence of bufferbloat in 3G/4G/DSL/etc. uplinks. Imagine if everyone developed their app using ATC, then wondered why their performance stinks in the real world...
