Unfortunate news today that an internet friend and important engineer Dave Täht died recently. Dave was responsible for the bufferbloat project and the development of the Cake qdisc in the Linux kernel. He also pushed for much better control of latency across all internet hardware. He's a major reason why cable modem all have queue management algorithms. I interacted with him off and on for 15 years or so. He was about 59 years old so far too young.
