I wish I had enough clout - as jon postel did - to merely declare I was the authority on 255/8 and was selling /24s at an auction price to anyone that was willing to route it. I´d use the money to support open source, and to help

There are several proposals. The most current one merely advocates that 240/4 be moved from reserved for future use to unicast status, which is the deployed reality today. I hate the idea of wasting 6% of the original internet on rfc19

by dtaht 3y ago
Some answers from my perspective: 240/4 is already useful in sdns, vpns, and networks like AWS as a hop along the way. Merely moving it on the IETF/IANA ledger from reserved to unicast would recognize reality since 2008. It is hil

When I saw the title of this post, I was thinking it was going to be about 60 bit computing with 4 bit tags on the pointers. I generally thought this was a good idea way back when and am glad to see it re-appearing now... but noooo.....

I have been pointing out for years that space elevators are feasible from a class of asteroid called a "fast rotator". They do not need to be very big either.

There are a lot of programmers that dabble as musicians, and vice versa. Licklidder was a pretty good guitarist, I am told.

Switching to a router that supports SQM (ideally, CAKE) on the wan interface is the suggested solution. fq_codel on the wifi, helps a lot too, but first up is fixing the ISP connection. Or an ISP can install libreqos, or preseem, or paraqum

I have been steering folk at this new test - called crusader - as it captures the essence of the baseline rrul flent test testing both up + down and latency at the same time - and as it is written in rust, runs on everything. https:/&

yes, had we found a way to support windows, we could have (and could still do) better. Regrettably we never did find a way - or funding - to drive tests through windows (wsl works). I still (as do many other folk in the Bufferbloat world) r

Ironically, we made fq-codel the default in many linuxes starting in 2012. HTB will pick up the default qdisc when you set that, so we figured many small shaping tools were just picking that up automagically. Most people do not measure in-s

The codel ACM queue article is IMHO, better than the RFC: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336 Kathie nichols has also spoken about Codel multiple times.

Even trying L4S is rather problematic still these days. All the support for it - from the AQMs to the transports - live out of tree in an increasing ancient 5.15 release. Where cake has been shipping for nearly 10 years in some form or anot

Heh - the article refers to CAKE as a "really tortured acronym". (Common Applications Kept Enhanced). It is a backronym indeed. Some of the backstory behind CAKE is that we were shooting to compensate for some of the known flaws o

This is a really good article. I do not know how to reach the author as there is one thing that bothers me about his default config. He set CAKE rtt to 30ms which is OK, so long as 98% or so of the sites he wants to reach are within 30ms. O

I often wish that there had been a way to politically make 240/4 and 0/8 commonly available. But in part I drove those projects to annoy the IPv6 crowd into action.

Really good thread. Several comments: Flow Queuing allows applications not creating queues to bypass those that are. It is mildly different from fair queuing: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8469111 Load shedding,
