- IRC discussion #bufferbloat on chat.freenode.net
There are videos covering bufferbloat:
- A short bufferbloat video, of slightly over 8 minutes, which includes both demonstrations, but elides most of the explanation.
- The longer version of the video clocks in at 21 minutes, includes both demonstrations, but gives a simplified explanation of bufferbloat’s cause, to encourage people to dig yet further.
- Google Tech Talk on bufferbloat, by Jim Gettys
- Dave Täht's "Water Videos"
There are two main printed publications at this time:
these are Bufferbloat: Dark Buffers in the Internet by Jim Gettys and Kathleen Nichols that appeared in the January issue of the CACM, and BufferBloat: What's Wrong with the Internet?, a discussion of Vint Cerf, Van Jacobson, Jim Gettys, and Nick Weaver that appeared in the February issue of CACM.
The ISOC (Internet Society) has issued a report highlighting the problem.
