Re: [nznog] Fwd: [ECS Seminars] 2013-02-20 Fred Baker - Buffer Bloat!

Hey, There was a talk at linux.conf.au 2013 the other week called Buffer Bloat from a Plumbers Point of View by Stephen Hemminger [0]. This showed the issues at hand, a number of the attempts that have been made to resolve the issues in the Linux kernel, and why they didn't actually work out as well as people hoped. Unfortunately Stephen hasn't had a chance to make a prop that replicates the CoDel approach yet. It was a very entertaining and educational talk and I recommend it (and yes, even Linus Torvalds was in the audience!). Here's the video: http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2013/mp4/Bufferbloat_from_a_Plu... Cheers! [0] http://www.linux.com/news/special-feature/linux-developers/661550-30-linux-k...

Fred Baker is scheduled to present a seminar about: Buffer Bloat!

School of Engineering and Computer Science Seminar

Abstract: The networking industry has looked at Quality of Service numbers times, resulting in the Integrated and Differentiated Services Architectures and numerous papers and articles on the topic. In the past few years, the topic has been popularly renamed "Buffer Bloat", and looked at again from the view of autoconfiguration and deployment. In this talk, we will look at Buffer Bloat in access networks, multistage networks such as WiFi, and data centers, each of which has unique issues and requirements.
