Dunno. I look forward to finding out. I put up debian packages of the kernel for ubuntu 12.4 here: http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~d/codel/linux/ You'll need to build your own iproute2 from the current (v12) patch set. Basic tests are throttling down your network card to like 100Mbit and trying it, unless you have major cpu that can saturate gigE or higher. I'm mostly using netperf from svn head. > > > -- > > Roger Jorgensen | ROJO9-RIPE > [email protected] | - IPv6 is The Key! > http://www.jorgensen.no | [email protected] -- Dave Täht SKYPE: davetaht US Tel: 1-239-829-5608 http://www.bufferbloat.net _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
