[tor-dev] Tor bufferbloat

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512

Hi everyone,

I discovered, during a presentation at this year LinuxCon in San Diego, the problem of "bufferbloat" which is encountered in network bottlenecks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat http://www.bufferbloat.net/

There is been a good amount of work done so far to fix this problem ending up with the CoDel algorithm (http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336). The Linux kernel is about to accept this policy as default.

Anyhow, I looked around for some recent studies on the Tor network about such congestion issues but I can't find any information on if this phenomenon is observed on the Tor network.

Someone knows about that?

Thanks a lot! David
