When I think of bufferbloat I think of Dave first, yes there are for example Google engineers and other people working on OpenWRT and Jim Gettys who pointed it out in a big way and CoDel was developed by Van Jacobson and Kathleen Nichols and the development of fq_codel and CAKE, but Dave feels like the center of it where things come together and than fan out again.

And bufferbloat is hugely important for the Interrnet, a real issue that needs to be solved (and now basically is).
