Quotes of the week

All of the benchmarks I have seen from them validating various techniques also measure bandwidth as well. While they are focused on one particular problem, I feel they do care about not breaking things in the process.

> I also haven't seen any reasoning for why they're dismissing delay-based congestion control algorithms like TCP Vegas, which can inherently detect bufferbloat and scale back before filling the buffers.

That only works if every stream is using Vegas - otherwise, the Vegas streams will be penalized against the other streams. For inherently background stuff, this is ok; indeed, uTP for bittorrent works on this principle. However, for everything else it is not a viable option.
