Compliments for the article. The background and history given here is very useful, and to me makes the difference between any Linux news site and the quality articles at LWN.

Indeed. I had in mind to post something very similar. Unlike some of the
other kernel articles, which sometimes go over my head (altho I'm sure
some find them as incredibly useful as I and apparently you found this,
and if that someone is the guy/gal writing the driver for that peripheral
I'm going to be buying...), this is exactly the type of thing that I can
make use of, therefore, exactly the type of thing that I have in mind when
it comes time to fill in that subscription reauthorization.

Agreed. The explanations are very very good, and this is what sets LWN appart from the other publications.

As a side note, after reading the article, I tried to select Westwood instead of BIC (which the kernel selects by default as I compiled all of them in), and got instant higher TCP performance on a network with an WiFi backbone link.

Thank you LWN!
