Bufferbloat is the undesirable latency that comes from a router or other network equipment buffering too many data packets. Bufferbloat can also cause packet delay variation (also known as jitter), as well as reduce the overall network throughput. When a router or switch is configured to use excessively large buffers, even very high-speed networks can become practically unusable for many interactive applications like voice over IP (VoIP), audio streaming, online gaming, and even ordinary web browsing.
缓冲膨胀是一种因数据包过度缓冲而引起的数据包交换网络高延迟原因。缓冲膨胀还可能导致数据包延迟变化(也称为抖动),并降低整体网络吞吐量。当路由器或交换机配置了过大的缓冲区时,对于许多交互式应用程序,例如IP语音(VoIP),在线游戏,甚至普通的网页浏览,即使是非常高速的网络也几乎无法使用。 一些通信设备制造商在他们的某些网络产品中不必要地设计了过大的缓冲区。在这种设备中,当网络链路拥塞时,就会发生缓冲膨胀,从而导致数据包在这些超大缓冲区中长时间排队。在先进先出队列系统中,过大的缓冲区会导致更长的队列和更高的延迟,并且不会提高网络吞吐量。 早在1985年就已经有人发现并描述了这种缓冲膨胀现象。从2009年开始,它受到了越来越广泛的关注。
