"Version 3.4 of Linux has not arrived yet, but 3.5 already appears to
be a very interesting version. There will be a vital improvement to
the handling of buffers in the network. More specifically, it is a new
algorithm that can correct bufferbloat problem. That is a congested
internet to a lesser extent will feel slow for example. ordinary web
browsing or gaming. 3.5 is therefore really one of those releases
where the average user can feel the difference kernel versionen.

A few days ago announced Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson their paper
a new algorithm for active queue management (AQM). Besides having
improvements in performance compared to previous algorithms, so the
new is also a huge advantage of not requiring difficult settings for
each use pattern. Previously it required networking expert to analyze
the individual traffic and set the AQM if you needed it. The new is it
just "plug and play" and AQM can now be used as default.

Shortly after the publication of paperen had scientists from cerowrt /
bufferbloat an implementation ready for linux. It has already been
included in git repoet for network-next, which is expected to be part
of Linux 3.5. The code is also also included in the development
version of openwrt and would also be found in the first release of
cerowrt, expected to come very soon. "
