CoDel achieves its robust simplicity by not worrying about buffer sizes at all but instead by tracking latency because getting an algorithm right to pick an appropriate buffer size per flow proved impossible. It seems like they might be going down a path that is already known not to work or maybe that experience doesnt apply at this layer of the stack. <br> </div> Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:18:06 +0000 https://lwn.net/Articles/507388/ https://lwn.net/Articles/507388/ butlerm <div class="FormattedComment"> This looks great. I have one question though: shouldn't this be made into generic infrastructure that can be used by other transport protocols? I imagine this would be helpful for UDP, SCTP, and DCCP sockets as well. The limit probably doesn't even need to be per protocol.<br> </div> Thu, 19 Jul 2012 05:45:12 +0000
