If they are like Riot and have their own fiber, it is not unlikely. There are tons of boring optimizations open source software also won't bother with without significant sponsorship (some could be specific to a particular file format). If you look at most network (and also video) protocols, they are accumulations of decades of improvements rather than neural network style overnight breakthroughs.
- big_chungus 7y agoDo you know of any resources where I can learn more about these boring optimizations?
- SaxonRobber 7y agoMIT open courseware has a course on Performance Engineering which details some of the types of low level optimizations that can be done. It requires a lot of measuring and problem specific solutions.
- brians 7y agoI’ve helped with that course in the past. It’s awesome. It’s completely unrelated to WAN networking. I found the IETF groups working on these problems more helpful.
- big_chungus 7y agoThanks. Any specific recommendations for someone fairly new to low-level networking? IETF docs can be a little dense :)
