"too few"?) Given the recent uproar about bufferbloat in routing devices (see LWN coverage about Getty's articles), wanting larger buffers seems to almost contradict what Getty would like. Though TV is usually delivered via UDP rather than TCP, some of the protocols may too implement some sort of congestion recognition or even avoidance techniqueÂâ IIRC realplayer had something that adapted video quality based upon transfer rate. Wanting more buffers vs. wanting less buffering seems to be quite contradictory. Jesper, what is your take on this? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
