Title: Bufferbloat
Post by: 715 on June 01, 2015, 10:14:07 PM
I've been using a new speed testing site that also measures something called bufferbloat (which is excessive buffering of data by, say, your router, causing delays).  My bufferbloat is OK for downstream but terrible for upstream.  Does this have any affect on AH, or does AH's use of UDP mean it's not relevant?  Trying to decide if I should replace my old WRT54GL router.

Your one router is pretty insignificant, in the overall scheme of buffer latency.  We use both TCP and UDP.
