I tested the fq_codel for wifi code against ioquake3. It works. Using edca also works. If the big telcos got behind twitchy games big-time, sponsoring teams running over their technologies, perhaps progress would be made. It could become like NASCAR.... Regrettably i find the current generation of games like CoD too realistic. It is one thing to shoot a daemons, gleefully, another to shoot at people. > > > _______________________________________________ > Bloat mailing list > Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net > https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat -- 40 years of net history, a couple songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9RGX6QFm5E Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
