I recently bought an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X [1]. Which has a smart queue function that utilises fq_codel.

Results from the DSLReports speed test [2], using the same router, the only difference being turning smart queue on:

Notice the improvement in bufferbloat score from D to A+.

Subjectively, I have noticed the connection seems more responsive and there no longer seem to be latency spikes when utilising all the upload bandwidth.

It’s certainly worth considering bufferbloat, if you suffer from latency spikes when using all your upload bandwidth (I used to suffer from this a lot more, when I had an ADSL connection, with only 1 megabit upload).

The next version of Ryzen will be based on 7nm [1].

Will be interesting to see how AMD uses the benefits of this process. I guess they could potentially add another CCX complex to the die, so the 2018 flagship Ryzen 7 could be a 12 core part.

I reckon Microsoft will end up killing Windows Phone entirely as an SKU and replace it with windows cloud (including the phone UI obviously).

They could then also launch a surface tablet with ARM SOC at the same time, running Windows cloud as well.
