In a new #podcast episode we talk to team members of @LibreQoS. The software helps ISPs fight #bufferbloat & distribute traffic fairly. In a lively conversation they talk about the vital importance of stable internet connections and their reasons for open sourcing LibreQoS: they hoped it would help a few small ISPs that bring internet access to under-served communities. But to their surprise LibreQoS has become very popular with deployments in 58 countries.

In memoriam: Dave Täht, the hero of the internet's long-lost fight against #bufferbloat . While LibreQoS and the "QoE solutions" mourn his loss, the rest of us are left wondering if the world will indeed crumble without its #FQCoDel savior.

I hadn't heard of #bufferbloat until a few days ago, but we'd been having terrible Internet issues since we dropped my #Netgear CM500 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem in favor of a newer DOCSIS 3.1 #Spectrum one.

My router didn't have very sophisticated #QOS, so I switched to a #GL.iNet one that has substantially improved traffic shaping.
Initial test look good.

I wonder if there was some kind of QOS at the modem level on the cm500 that's not on the Spectrum one.

#introduction when the database crashed I lost some followers, but because I hadn't backed up my account yet, I am not sure who they all are. As an extended introduction I'll tag some common topics I like to discuss, maybe people will see those.
