I don't have access to the article, but they're saying the issue is due to client side ack processing. I suspect they're testing at bandwidths far beyond what's normal for consumer applications.
- dartharva 2y agoIt's available on arxiv and nope, they are testing mostly for regular 4G/5G speeds. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.09423 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.09423
- DannyBee 2y ago4g tops out at 1gbps only when one person is on the network. 5g tops out at ~10gbps (some 20gbps i guess) only when one person is on the network. They are testing at 1gbps. This is not regular 4g speed for sure, and it's a rare 5g speed. regular 5g speed is (in the US) 40-50mbps, so, 20x slower than they are testing.
- dartharva 2y agoStill won't be beyond normal consumer applications' capacity, right?

- izend 2y agoWhat about 1gbps fiber at home, it is becoming common in Canada. I have 1gbps up/down.
- DannyBee 2y agoThis would affect that. As said, i was only replying to the claim that this affects things at 4g/5g cell phone speeds, which it clearly does not, by their own data.
- vrighter 2y agoGigabit fiber internet is quite cheap and increasingly available (I'm not from the US). I don't just use the internet over a 4/5g connection. This definitely affects more people than you think.
- DannyBee 2y agoI think it affects lots of people. I have 5gbps internet at home myself. But that is not what i was replying to. I was replying to the claim that this affects regular 4g/5g cell phone speeds. The data is clear that it does not.
- KaiserPro 2y agoHttp1.1 has been around for 28 years. At the time, gigabit ethernet was _expensive_. 9600baud on mobile was rare. and yet http1.1 runs on gigabit networks pretty well.
