They change buffer sizes (but dynamically!) and manage to do better than
Linux with CoDel and PIE as qdiscs on the WiFi interface. Linux 3.17.7,
that is. This was published today...

What's worse is that they actually cite our paper, with this comment:

> Recently, Høiland-Jørgensen et al. [20] also tackled bufferbloat in
> APs with the goal to reduce latency and improve airtime fairness.
> Their proposal was built on top of FQ-CoDel which is one of the
> queuing disciplines in Linux. We believe that the mesh environment
> imposes further challenges that are not addressed in this work.

I am mildly outraged...
