Hi,

is anyone in BSD-land working on de-bufferbloating the kernel, similar to what 
the Linux folks are currently doing?

I'll be committing the CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG) TCP congestion control algorithm shortly. It's still experimental, but it has some useful characteristics in terms of keeping buffer utilisation minimal whilst achieving acceptable goodput even in the face of competition from loss-based algorithms like NewReno. I've included a few relevant links at the end for anyone who wants to know more.

On the larger topic of de-bufferbloating the kernel, I'm not aware of anyone who is systematically identifying buffer points and "fixing" them if they are found to suffer from bloat problems.

Cheers,
Lawrence
