The key issue here is contention, or a busy egress interface - that's when buffering occurs. I do not understand why adding capacity, or reducing the probability of a busy egress interface, "won't help at all".
- tfha 8y agoThe torrenting app will just consume all the extra space, leaving just as little for gaming as there was before.
- dtaht99 8y agototally untrue. fq_codel manages normal torrents just fine in the presence of gamer-style traffic. We tested against torrents in fixing bufferbloat a lot! Pure aqm systems like pie (in docsis 3.1) do pretty well also. cake (per host fq) can make even insane amounts of torrenting (or slashdotting!) bearable.
