There are a really large string of network related fixes going into the next two Linux kernels (3.9 and 3.10), in light of extensive tcp and bufferbloat related analyses at google.
Two of the most important (at least to my eye) are: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136241595507566&w=2 and http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136392337900604&w=2 Three more caught my eye as I was poking through the commit histories: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136382407631873&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136639199530624&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136580231922814&w=2 And that's just the tip of the iceberg! I expect to have to rerun a ton of benchmarks as a result of these changes, and to have to throw out a lot of older data. Please plan on having to do the same after these kernels are released.... -- Dave Täht Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
