Parent article: LPC: An update on bufferbloat

Yeah bufferbloat is a pain. I patched openwrt to include SFB (stochastic fair blue), then created a simple traffic shaping script based on the approximate upload limits of my dsl2+ router. I no longer get multisecond delays when the network is actually used in the way it's supposed to. :)

Enabled ECN where possible too, which helps with the traffic shaping method I was using. Windows XP doesn't support it, and later versions disable it by default.
