A lot of comments here seem outdated, however things have moved on in a good-way!

Taking reference of https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Linux_Tips/ -- would now seem that many of the bufferbloat fixes HAVE been implemented --

Upstream kernel changes have now introduced tcp_sack tcp_dsack seemingly.
Systemd, interestingly-enough, now enables fq_codel as default qdisc.
[See LP #1436945 ].

The remaining piece of this bufferbloat puzzle on desktop distributions, seems to be
turning on tcp_ecn fully so that it actually gets used on outgoing TCP connections
(with adaptive fallback now supported).

See related Issue: #1773157 -- Please support this and mark as affecting you as you see fit!

Hope that helps!
