Striking a balance between bufferbloat and TCP queue oscillation
Guest Post: Does your satellite link have the right amount of queue capacity configured? If not, it may be suffering from bufferbloat.
Should I allow UDP over my satellite link?
Guest Post: Could UDP possibly be worse than small TCP flows? Could TCP be its own worst enemy?
Measuring QUIC vs TCP on mobile and desktop
Guest Post: A recent study finds that QUIC largely outperforms TCP except for in the presence of packet reordering and on resource-constrained mobile devices.
