I sat down on my vacation last week thinking I would write up a review of progress since the bufferbloat effort began back in January, 2011. In
I think we should exercise a bit of caution in relation to saying things like "the bufferbloat effort started in Jan 2011" - the pre-2011 literature alone (although not using the term "bufferbloat" specifically) extensively covers the issues, symptoms and a myriad of solutions for the problem.
particular, I was interested in discovering to what extent we'd made the cross-over not just into other OSes besides Linux (e.g - BSD, windows) but into academia.
FWIW, I'm a FreeBSD kernel developer and a PhD student working on transport layer congestion control. I've been involved in doing a lot of experimental work related to bufferbloat (we refer to it as "collateral damage" in our papers) using FreeBSD and Linux.
In the future I would certainly appreciate the authors of bufferbloat related/referencing papers to mention them on this mailing list *as* they are published!
Here are a few pointers to relevant papers done by people at the research centre where I'm studying:
"A rough comparison of NewReno, CUBIC, Vegas and ‘CAIA Delay Gradient’ TCP (v0.1)": http://caia.swin.edu.au/reports/110729A/CAIA-TR-110729A.pdf
"Revisiting TCP Congestion Control using Delay Gradients": http://www.springerlink.com/content/mq50134631115076/
"Multimedia-unfriendly TCP Congestion Control and Home Gateway Queue Management": http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1943552.1943558
"Improved coexistence and loss tolerance for delay based TCP congestion control": http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5735714&tag=1
"Collateral Damage: The Impact of Optimised TCP Variants on Real-Time Traffic Latency in Consumer Broadband Environments": http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01399-7_31
Off the top of my head, you should also check out the work done by Nick McKeown's group (although their focus has been on core routers): http://yuba.stanford.edu/buffersizing/
There's plenty of other relevant work that I can't think of specifically right now, but it's out there.
