Maybe I misunderstood your first message about 'buffer bloat'. I was thinking about buffer bloat in routers/switches when many TCP connection start to send packet, router starts to buffer them, once packets are dropped, congestion avoidance in TCP connections is activated and synchronises - bandwidth goes down and once again increases in all TCP connections, and this cycle (more packets are sent/packet drops/congestion avoidance triggered) repeats again.
- jorangreef 11y agoYes that's right. I meant the same. Each application on a user's machine contributes to bufferbloat generated by that machine, and bufferbloat as a whole encountered at the router (which affects everyone on the LAN).
- noselasd 11y agoNote that bufferbloat is a problem regardless of there being many or few TCP connections.
