This weekend for the first time ever I saw netflix become unusable for several hours on a friday night. On DSL line capable of over 6mbits down, it slowed below 1.2Mbit and frequently stopped.
For a change I was NOT interested in leaping up from the couch to capture traffic (read a book instead!) to see what was up, but it did set me to thinking about monitoring congestion and delay on local network segments, like those you find in cable, where you frequently see arp requests go by anyway and thus can build an partial picture of the rest of the wire. I was seriously impressed and somewhat scared by the power of zmap: https://zmap.io/ But it would be interesting to be able to collect a periodic picture of the universe one hop beyond the local gateway. -- Dave Täht NSFW: https://w2.eff.org/Censorship/Internet_censorship_bills/russell_0296_indecent.article _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
