From frantisek.borsik at gmail.com Tue Apr 1 13:27:36 2025 From: frantisek.borsik at gmail.com (Frantisek Borsik) Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2025 19:27:36 +0200 Subject: [LibreQoS] =?utf-8?q?In_loving_memory_of_Dave_T=C3=A4ht_=3C3?= Message-ID: Hello to all, We’re devastated to announce that Dave Täht has passed away. Dave was an amazing man, helping the world with FQ-CoDel and CAKE, fighting bufferbloat and trying to make the world a better place. Always willing to help, and without him – LibreQoS (and the other QoE solutions out there) wouldn’t exist. Dave was an inspiration, and we all miss him. We’re reaching out to family and close friends to see if there’s anything we can do to help. Dave was an inspiration to us. Dave’s contributions to Linux, FQ-CoDel, and CAKE improved internet connectivity around the world for millions of people. Because of him, millions of people now have access to reliable video calls – and in turn, access to loved ones, healthcare, and community. One of Robert’s ISP customers is a kind paraplegic woman who lives in a far-flung rural Colonia around El Paso, Texas. Her reliable access to her doctors through telemedicine, and to her family through FaceTime, was only made possible because of his algorithms. There are millions of cases like hers, where Dave’s contributions have silently enabled human connection and safety. Everything Dave contributed to the world of technology was free and open source, for the betterment of humanity. Dave is the reason that Starlink was able to tackle its latency issues – enabling a generation of young entrepreneurs across the developing world, such as these young folks pictured in the Phillipines, to start their own ISPs to expand internet access to their communities. Dave started work on FQ-CoDel in part because of his own journey working to expand internet access in Nicaragua, so we know he saw that his work had come full-circle and helped so many. We’re incredibly grateful to have Dave as our friend, mentor, and as someone who continuously inspired us – showing us that we could do better for each other in the world, and leverage technology to make that happen. He will be dearly missed. *PS: *Dave is forever in our hearts and souls, in our routers and...in production! *https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/pull/684 * All the best, Frank Frantisek (Frank) Borsik https://www.linkedin.com/in/frantisekborsik Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp: +421919416714 iMessage, mobile: +420775230885 Skype: casioa5302ca frantisek.borsik at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will miss him but will be always grateful to have known him. vint cerf On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 1:26 PM Frantisek Borsik via Starlink < starlink at lists.bufferbloat.net> wrote: > Hello to all, > > We’re devastated to announce that Dave Täht has passed away. > > > Dave was an amazing man, helping the world with FQ-CoDel and CAKE, > fighting bufferbloat and trying to make the world a better place.

He was such an inspiration and always made me happy even in the worst times. When I was recovering from chemotherapy and stem cell transplant treatment, Dave came to visit me in the hospital. Which was quite a surprise. I had always hoped that I could return the favor some day. Also, remember when Toke and I visited him at the Lodge and we both brought laptops (and not towels). He also inspired me to keep going with the Bufferbloat water demonstrations.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Dave for 15 years. He was generous with his time and had a unique way of bringing people together to make the internet better for everyone! I had to go down memory lane to recall when I first really started working with him. It may have been around 2010 or so. In 2012, I started sending funds his way via my day job to help him and his merry network of collaborators work to develop the CoDel AQM. Funding him was not necessarily easy, as Dave had a unique way of working and was best when he had complete autonomy and only loosely outlined goals - typically hard to sell in a big company. But he could make things happen, so it worked. And I knew when he started complaining about maintenance needs on his boat, or the need to recruit a new person to the project, or about a great new (and practical!) idea, that it was time to top up his funding. ;-) That initial CoDel support in 2012 was extended to underwrite work on his idea to develop RRUL, the first real working latency test that I can remember (https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/RRUL_Spec/ ). He was also helpful in introducing me to Simon Kelley, developer of dnsmasq, so we could underwrite some IPv6 features in dnsmasq (and Dave convinced Simon to come to an IETF meeting to help gather requirements and meet folks). Dave got CoDel working, so we developed a compelling demo of CoDel on a DOCSIS network (via a CeroWrt-based router connected to a cable modem) and brought him along to IETF-86 in March 2013 in Orlando - see interview with Dave at https://youtu.be/NuHYOu4aAqg?si=p0SJHLNpp_6n7XP9&t=195 . From 2014-2017, I was able to make additional financial support happen for him, so he could do R&D into how to improve buffer bloat in WiFi network links and equipment, a project he called "Make WiFi Fast". In 2020-2021 and 2024, I found funding for his work again, this time to work on accelerating AQM adoption in the real world & work related to the CAKE AQM. Thanks in part to my longstanding collaboration with Dave, tens of millions of DOCSIS users in our network have AQM and thus far better network responsiveness. The same is true for AQMs he worked on, CeroWrt, LibreQoS, and other projects. He succeeded in his goal to make the internet better for everyone! We will miss you, Dave!

Condolences :( We lost a great engineer and internet enthusiast (activist?) who was always a positive driving force to make sh!t happen, yet with strongly held values as north star, a true open-source believer! After few years lurking in the shadows of IETF, in early 2023 I was preparing for first at site participation and asked Dave for advice. Advice he did, a true mentor! This eventually led to various late hour discussions, mostly just me picking his brain for advice to help on the adventures on trying to make Internet faster. He was happy to breach about bufferbloat and share insights into why things still suck even if we have a lot of the answers already, about fairness in internet protocols, or just him reflecting on fq and aqm to preserve our collective discipline on the internet, fairness not just as a feature, for him it was a moral imperative. What made Dave special was all those philosophical reflections and small insertions of his (often strong held) values into the technical discussions, even in the smalles of technical contexts. Dave often shared his dislike and was vocal on the problems in our way of working as engineers, and I do share that concern. He would often tell the story on how Richard Feynman exposing the flaws behind the Challenger disaster “broke” him not only emotionally but also professionally, leading him to change in direction as engineer. Much alike that of Feynman what Dave had was a spirit and demand for truthfulness and the rejection of bureaucratic spin in the face of technical reality. He was frustrated on how we often end up dismissing the stakes of engineering that ignoring physical laws not just be bringing jail time but “death and destruction”, yet we are often casual about consequences of our lack of discipline in the internet (technically, right?). Dave always had a good sense of humor and a grounded, human touch, plus to put the music on top of that. That combo made an entertaining speaker and funny demos he was throwing around to make a point. When I would ask his advice to help us on a project, he would be soon joking about needing to go for a walk because his “brain hurts" after spending the day on the problems of slinging packets across the solar system. He was a strong space advocate, albeit with a dark touch to it due to the Feynman influence. All this considered I am very happy to hear that he got to make contributions to Starlink! He was often talking about it and hoping to be able to help. His wit, humility, and generosity with time and advice was always there, never pretentious, always direct, and often self-deprecating with humor. Very characteristic example piece of Dave space enthusiasm was his worries and writings about asteroid mining (He did write a lot of good stuff!): https://the-edge.blogspot.com/search/label/asteroids Dave was as a rare blend of an engineer, philosopher, educator, and activist. His character was one of intellectual honesty, generosity, and a deep values but always ending up with practical engineering and soemthing that is reliable to the point of preserving human life directly or indirectly. Dave was also one with true passion for open-source, unwavering passion (Hi LibreQoS team!). He always punctuated on and advocated for collaboration, offering to share code and share access to everything he did, test things around, and openly critique what he saw as flawed assumptions. His attitude was not one of competition but protective of what he considered sacred, the integrity of internet. He was one who wanted to believe, in the powers of good, to live, and live he did! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKMSgZo9c8s We lost a great one! We will do our best and try to uphold what Dave was fighting for, even if times get grim on occasion, losing him certainly is one of those grim time.

I've been pondering this for the last day, at a loss for what I could say other than "I'm sad too". I have many happy memories of discussions with Dave, with beers shared in distant places, of his continual gentle encouragement to support the people who are working to make things better. We have lost somebody special. Looking through my email from him, one constant theme was not pointing out his own work (though he was certainly pleased when it was adopted), but the work of others. He wanted all of the people doing good work to be recognized, and had a big enough heart to support them all. In a message sent just over a year ago, he left me with this thought: "if we do not celebrate ourselves, no-one will." As I remember Dave, I shall try to follow his lead and celebrate those who are continuing his work. jon From dpreed at deepplum.com Wed Apr 2 15:51:51 2025 From: dpreed at deepplum.com (David P.

I met him through Jim Gettys at the beginning of the Bufferbloat discovery, and besides our long correspondence, I hope I have given him enough support over the years - including introducing him to my network of friends, some of whom are on this list. Others he found by himself. He's been a one-person social network out there, who got things done beyond what institutions seem to be able to do. (And he amazed me by managing to get a stodgy IETF crowd to pay attention to the congestion control issue, despite much institutional resistance, and academic networking researchers who never got the point). Of course, Jason Livingood worked behind the scenes very hard to bypass corporate resistance, too. Also, I can share something that few knew about - I brought Dave into an ex parte policy discussion at the FCC about an idea being promoted that the FCC should require all routers the FCC certified to have a complete "locked down" configuration that could not be changed by users. I got brought in because of my FCC TAC involvement around Software Defined Radio. But the folks behind the proposal were just using that as an excuse - they wanted really to block WISPs by raising the cost of WiFi routers. Dave, who knew more than anything why re-flashing routers made them MORE secure and could explain it in a disarming way to lawyers and policymakers, managed to get the commissioners to understand that security wasn't something the FCC could certify, and also why commercial routers weren't at all secure. He was so much better at explaining in what you might call an inclusive, folksy way that he changed the FCC's approach significantly - away from Certifying Security entirely. (The SDR issue ended up not being relevant to routers, though SDR is still a complex policy issue that is holding back innovation in wireless systems.) I'm certain Dave has had much impact of this sort. However, Dave's passing s very frustrating to me because of two things: 1) there is no one who can replace Dave. The things he made happen will continue, but he was only getting started on issues like improving WiFi. Again, the resistance to improving WiFi is both institutional and corporate, and researchers won't challenge the institutional and corporate shibboleths that get in the way of solving critical problems in the 802.11 implementation and systems architecture domain. (Unfortunately, WiFi has become a political term that is being used by "wireless" operators and their suppliers to fight for or against monopoly control of the airwaves, very parallel to the problems of getting engineering solutions on Internet fabric that deal with congestion. So it can't be done in the institutions and corporations focused away from the engineering challenges. That's why Dave was needed.) 2) I was thinking about how we could get Dave recognized for his contributions. Like other unsung heroes, Dave didn't work for BBN or some other moneyed entity who would commission a book or a memorial. (BBN paid Katie Hafner to write the text that later turned into her book "When Wizards Stay Up Late", which oddly only talked about the ARPANET/Internet pioneers who worked for BBN, omitting many of my Internet colleagues.) Dave wasn't the kind of guy that gets Awards from the Computer History Museum or the ACM or IEEE. He wasn't beloved at IETF or ISOC that I know of. He's in the category of folks like Noel Chiappa or Bram Cohen or Richard Stallman or Aaron Swartz - people I think really changed the way we think about computing and internetworking, but who won't be in the official histories.

We’re reaching out to family and close friends to see if there’s anything we can do to help. Dave was an inspiration to us. Dave’s contributions to Linux, FQ-CoDel, and CAKE improved internet connectivity around the world for millions of people. Because of him, millions of people now have access to reliable video calls – and in turn, access to loved ones, healthcare, and community. One of Robert’s ISP customers is a kind paraplegic woman who lives in a far-flung rural Colonia around El Paso, Texas. Her reliable access to her doctors through telemedicine, and to her family through FaceTime, was only made possible because of his algorithms. There are millions of cases like hers, where Dave’s contributions have silently enabled human connection and safety. Everything Dave contributed to the world of technology was free and open source, for the betterment of humanity. Dave is the reason that Starlink was able to tackle its latency issues – enabling a generation of young entrepreneurs across the developing world, such as these young folks pictured in the Phillipines, to start their own ISPs to expand internet access to their communities. Dave started work on FQ-CoDel in part because of his own journey working to expand internet access in Nicaragua, so we know he saw that his work had come full-circle and helped so many. We’re incredibly grateful to have Dave as our friend, mentor, and as someone who continuously inspired us – showing us that we could do better for each other in the world, and leverage technology to make that happen. He will be dearly missed. PS: Dave is forever in our hearts and souls, in our routers and...in production! https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/pull/684 All the best, Frank Frantisek (Frank) Borsik https://www.linkedin.com/in/frantisekborsik Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp: +421919416714 iMessage, mobile: +420775230885 Skype: casioa5302ca frantisek.borsik at gmail.com _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat at lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dave was in Paris, but I was busy. I told him I didn't have time to take him to a fancy restaurant, but we could have lunch at an ordinary brasserie. We met at noon, got a table. Dave was observing the habitués drinking their white wine at the counter, the office workers having steak and salad, the young people not quite sure whether it's a date. There was no Enligh-language menu, of course, but the owner, a lady way above retirement age, who spoke French with a strong Parisian accent, turned out to speak remarkably good English. I had steak, Dave had fish, if I recall correctly. The white wine was decent, the red was okay. I'm sure we discussed bufferbloat, Dave encouraged me not to give up on Babel, I must have told him about my students, we probably slandered the IETF. I likely didn't have dessert, I don't remember whether Dave did. I went to the counter, ordered two coffees. Un express et un américano, s'il-vous-plaît. The lady stared at me blankly. Un américano, right? Young man, she said, you're not going to tell me how to make un américano, but your friend, he has to learn to drink proper coffee. It's going to be deux express. Dave was very brave that day. -- Juliusz From geoff at iconia.com Wed Apr 2 23:28:10 2025 From: geoff at iconia.com (the keyboard of geoff goodfellow) Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2025 20:28:10 -0700 Subject: [LibreQoS] =?utf-8?b?W1N0YXJsaW5rXSBbQ2FrZV0gW0Jsb2F0XSBJbiBsb3Zp?= =?utf-8?q?ng_memory_of_Dave_T=C3=A4ht_=3C3?= In-Reply-To: <1743623511.52759201@apps.rackspace.com> References: <014po62q-r99p-71np-52r1-n84n9np63nqr@ynat.uz> <87plhvlyoc.fsf@toke.dk> <976DC4FC-44CA-4C7E-90E0-DE39B57F01E1@comcast.com> <8DA2934A-43D1-4700-8F32-CA424C3FAE8D@comcast.com> <1743623511.52759201@apps.rackspace.com> Message-ID: vis-a-vis* "**thinking about how we could get Dave recognized for his contributions" ➔➔ *At The Very Least Dave should immediately be posthumously nominated to The InternetHallOfFame.org as Dave Most Certainly Qualifies For *"Recognizing the People **Who Bring the Internet to Life"* geoff On Wed, Apr 2, 2025 at 12:52 PM David P.
