Subject: Re: BQL crap and wireless

My goal in collecting these recordings is to get TRANSCRIPTS of what
is important and what is not, so that ultimately better documentation
can be written from those than exist today.

Since the byte queuing issue is hot this week, I decided to make more
people aware that these recordings existed in the hope that more
available background information on how wireless works could be
internalized by more people.

I did note that the talk with felix was an attempt at capturing and
summarizing some bufferbloat history and only towards the end did we
start moving forward to things we planned to try, while the talk with
andrew was an attempt at doing a more technical overview of quite a
few issues.

Multiple people have found these conversations useful. Certainly I
find them useful, often reviewing them a few weeks after the fact to
find subtleties that I missed originally, or needed further reading to
really understand or write code for. The earliest conversation I had
with felix (march?) still has some useful nuggets in it about how
aggregation actually works that I hope to mine one day for better
documentation. It also had some glaring errors in it...
(mostly MINE!)

I would certainly like to have a (recorded!) conversation with you to
have a constructive
discussion of the issues you find important, correct, and essential,
towards making wireless networking better.

Many people are capable of doing otherwise useful work while having a
podcast running in the background that might have a few percentage
points of useful information.

By all means, don't listen if you can't split the brain cells, as I
wrote I will have transcript of that latest available and will try to
summarize and extract the best of what was discussed, after we get
some code written and some tests performed.

 There are many other folk I would like to interview in this way, as well.
