Abstract
- The article highlights the common misconception that poor internet performance is solely due to insufficient bandwidth, emphasizing instead the critical role of latency and software inefficiencies like bufferbloat. It explains how outdated or poorly designed router software can lead to delays in data transmission, disrupting services like videoconferencing. To address this, advanced software solutions such as LibreQoS enable Internet service providers (ISPs) to optimize network performance and reduce latency, improving user experiences without requiring costly hardware upgrades.
