This is a fundamental problem on the internet. Ram is so cheap that every device has too big buffers that don’t allow for proper TCP back pressure. Eric Raymond gave a talk on this a few years ago. He was going to distribute a lot of small embedded devices around the world to measure this to try to address it. I’m curious what happened to that effort.
