make-wifi-fast: would anyone at canonical want to help out?

[Dave Taht]

Since most of the core ideas and theory we have for vastly improving
wifi have landed (at least in theory), we are in the process of
kicking off the make-wifi-fast project to get the fixes done, and
tested, and "out there"...

First up was minstrel-blues (do check out the patches!), then there
are some tcp related fixes in progress from google, and after that is
per station/vif queuing and a ton of stuff to reduce buffering and
more sanely use up txops described on pp 25- here:

Would anyone at canonical be interested in participating in getting
all this new stuff developed, tested, and "out there"?

There is an awful lot to it. I had described most of the basic
problems in my talk at MIT 2 years back:

and now I think the fruits of the bufferbloat.net effort can now not
only be applied to isochronous ethernet-like devices with fq_codel
everywhere, but also to wifi (which is very different, and has
required some rather fundamental changes to the queue management
algorithms, that are going to take a while to ingest and debug)

We can make wifi a lot better by addressing a ton of low-lying fruit
in the stack. We think. With a little more help. Anyone interested?
