Submission + - Starlink cuts P99 latency by 60%, deploys FQ_Codel on WiFi (starlink.com)
mtaht writes: Starlink has set itself a goal of 20ms latency across their entire LEO network, and published an update as to how far they have come, and how far they are going, tackling "Dumb stuff driven by non-physical limitations in our system" – "unneeded processing delays, unoptimized buffers, or unnecessary packet drops that force retries. Buffers across our network have been right sized to reduce bufferbloat, and queueing algorithms have been improved to increase capacity on our gateway links from the ground to satellites. Our WiFi latency has been improved, with the addition of active queue management, fq_codel, to the Starlink WiFi router. With active queue management enabled, when one person on your WiFi is downloading a big file, and another is playing a game, the game latency will not be affected by the download".
