TCP uses a three-way handshake to establish a reliable connection, why prioritize the ack traffic only?? We aren't trying to prioritize the handshake. The handshake is only 3 small packets to establish the TCP connection. Once you establish the connection and then start downloading at full speed, y...

the congestion methods mentioned all seem to apply to TCP exclusively TCP and QUIC are stream protocols - as in you have a large amount of data and you will send multiple packets to transfer it. What the connection methods do is to drop some packets as a signal that the stream should slow down. So ...

No worries. I'll see if I can rerun the test graphs with the updated baseline when office reopens.

I've done some testing with a closer server. Four cases considered: baseline, QOS2020, QOS2020-Optimised (my recommended changes), mikroCAKE (pseudo-CAKE implementation). Graphs of the bandwidth vs latency, and a latency distribution plot. All tests were Perth to Sydney, 30 seconds of baseline eithe...

Wow, thank you for doing this. To remove any ambiguity, would you please post your queue config ( between code tags ) so I can study it? How well did my reference implementation do for you? I want to make sure that your config is not too specific to your needs as we do need something general that p...

Did a pile of testing today with Flent measuring bufferbloat and performance. The final system that gave the best results (no increase in latency when limited to 90% of line bandwidth) is below. Set the two parent queues (UP and DOWN) to have a bucket-size of 0.005. This means that up to 5ms of toke...
