Has anyone, besides those that worked on byte queue limits (http://lwn.net/Articles/454390/), and sfqred (http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg186311.html), had a chance to benchmark networking (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00633.html) using these tools on the Linux 3.3 kernel in the real world? A dent, at least theoretically, seems to be have made in bufferbloat (http://www.cringely.com/2012/03/linux-3-3-finally-a-little-good-news-for-bufferbloat/), and now that the new kernel and new iproute2 are out, should be easy to apply in general (e.g. server/desktop) situations."Dear readers: Have any of you had problems with bufferbloat that were alleviated by the new kernel version?
