Vint Cerf recommended that I start immediately blogging about bufferbloat a year or so ago, given the severity of the problem to avoid the usual publication delays; that’s why things appeared here first.
But more formal publication has its merits; in particular, having articles for less directly involved in networking and/or more managerially oriented technical managers is very important. So I’ve been working with/in ACM queue to put together a case study. It has now appeared as an article in the January 2012 issue of CACM (Communications of the ACM) in dead-tree form. There will also be a full paper posted in ACM queue, but to make the January CACM, we put that aside to finish the (much shorter) article.

Interesting read. I was hoping to see R. Jain’s 1992: “Myths about Congestion Management in High Speed Networks” among those cited on the document.

There is only so much we could put in to the CACM version. We were significantly over the normal word count for a CACM article, and like 50% over the # of references.

Already read it. Great stuff. Not the buffer bloat but the article 🙂
