[Starlink] [Rpm] Fwd: [Make-wifi-fast] make-wifi-fast

[David P. Reed]

Sorry for front posting. The L2 and L3 
are following the "end to end argument". The function of the L2 network is to not queue more than absolutely necessary.
The function at L3 is to respond to congestion signals by reducing input to a fair shareof available capacity, quickly, cooperating with other L3 protocols.

This is understood by clueful L2 and L3 folks.

Clueless vendors dominate the L2 vendor space. Sadly. They refuse to stop over buffering.

Hi,

Sorry, maybe I did not craft the subject correctly. I am receiving the
daily digest of the list, not individual messages.

I have seen before that the L2 engineers (Wi-Fi, DVB...) and the
Internet engineers (L3) are trying to solve the same issue (QoS,
congestion control) without being aware of what each other are doing
and not even getting coordinated. I am afraid that nowadays we have
even the application layer engineers doing their own stuff (DASH,
CDNs...).

Some time ago, I worked in a project about cross-layer optimization
techniques for SATCOM systems, where one of the issues was to try to
optimize transport layer performance with L2 info. I was just a mere
observer of what academy people in the consortium where proposing.

That was quite long ago:

Today I came across this:
https://www.elektormagazine.com/news/white-paper-why-wi-fi-6-goes-hand-in-hand-with-cellular-to-enable-the-hyper-connected-enterprise-future

"the performance uplift of Wi-Fi 6 over Wi-Fi 5 is substantial and
more than sufficient to support innovative use cases such as automated
guided vehicles, industrial robots and many other applications."

This sound like Wi-Fi 6 will support low latency and will have a good
QoS support. Maybe...

Regards,

David
