I wonder why this hasn't made the rounds here. From what I see, a change
in this part (e.g. lower buffers in customer routers, or a change (yet
another) to the congestion control algorithms) would do miracles for
end-user perceived performance and should help in some way with the net
neutrality dispute.
I'd say this is common knowledge and has been for a long time.
In the world of CPEs, lowest price and simplicity is what counts, so
nobody cares about buffer depth and AQM, that's why you get ADSL CPEs with
200+ ms of upstream FIFO buffer (no AQM) in most devices.
Personally I have MQC configured on my interface which has assured bw for
small packets and ssh packets, and I also run fair-queue to make tcp
sessions get a fair share. I don't know any non-cisco devices that does
this.
