Re: [Server-devel] BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control

School server networks fail to perform fairly or effectively because
the loss-based congestion control methods in TCP networking are not a

Wireless access points or devices with too much buffering memory make
the problem worse.  A case of more not being good.

Former OLPCer Jim Gettys warned us about bufferbloat years ago.

I'd like to hear from anyone deploying the new BBR congestion-base
controls, which should be available in 4.9 kernels.  It is a
server-side feature, so there's no great need for it in laptops that
operate as clients.


4.9 released yesterday.

With 2 years of LTS support likely/expected:

[Server-devel] CentOS "7.3" (1611) Released, for x86_64

2016-12-12 Thread Adam Holt 
Aside: Likely that the forthcoming XSCE 6.2 will also run on Debian 8.6 or
9.


From: "Karanbir Singh"

]

I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7
(1611) for 64 bit x86 compatible machines.

Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux
7 and is tagged as 1611, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3

As always, read through the Release Notes at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 - these notes
contain important information about the release and details about some
of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes
are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from
the users.

Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos

Updates released since we froze the iso and install media content are
posted in the updates repo along with the release. This will include
content from late November 2016 and December 2016, therefore anyone
running a new install is highly encouraged to run a 'yum update'
operation immediate on install completion.  You can apply all updates,
including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux
7/x86_64 machine by just running 'yum update'.

As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built from
sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a
byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and
buildsys process) are being published to match every binary RPM we
release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own
dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since
there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the
binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror
network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the
reposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source
RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary
counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and
contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code
hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how
to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Sources

Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs
shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for
debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install.

This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS
Linux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their
machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to
handle stale content is included in the Release Notes.

Download

In order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to get
the mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend using
torrents to get your initial installer images:

Details on the images are available on the mirrors at
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/0_README.txt - that file
clearly highlights the difference in the images, and when one might be
more suitable than the others.
