Bufferbloat: Dark Buffers in the Internet (ACM Queue)Bufferbloat: Dark Buffers in the Internet (ACM Queue)Posted Dec 7, 2011 16:39 UTC (Wed) by martinfick (subscriber, #4455)In reply to: Bufferbloat: Dark Buffers in the Internet (ACM Queue) by marcH Parent article: Bufferbloat: Dark Buffers in the Internet (ACM Queue)
> I would not be surprised if TCP is actually the worst guy for falling in and filling bufferbloat traps. There is some irony in that considering it is usually considered the best congestion citizen *in the lack of bufferbloat*
I had the same thought myself and was wondering if TCP needs to be fixed to take latency into account? From my lame understanding it seems to only care about throughput, isn't that why the bittorrent folks came up with their own UDP based solution? So, while I am all for fixing buffers wherever possible, shouldn't there be more discussion about fixing TCP?
