Well there is some good work in linux 3.14 and beyond, and there was also some interesting work on "initial spreading" presented at ietf. Hopefully patches for this will be available soon. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sallantin-iccrg-initial-spreading-00 I would certainly like to be able to sanely measure the impact of hundreds or thousands of flows in slow start, rather than/in addition to 8 flows in congestion avoidance. > > -Aaron -- Dave Täht Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
