Buffer Bloat

Come aboard the Buffer Bloat Begone Boat and let us set sail for seas of lower latency under load!

The journey begins

I became interested in buffer bloat after watching a podcast interview with David Taht. At a friend's suggestion, I purchased an inexpensive Mikrotik RB750Gr3 device, in order to implement a more robust and fully featured network router for our home network

Equipment

We obtain internet via a Wireless ISP over a 5Ghz link to a tower 18 miles away, with a plan for 20Mbps/5Mbps. In reality, it's more like 13Mbps/4Mbps. The WISP modem is connected to an RB750Gr3 aka HEx, running RouterOS 7.3.1. Internal DNS and DHCP for the home network is provided by a pihole connected directly to the router.
