Rename "What can I do about Bufferbloat?"

[richb-hanover]

(from "What to do about Bufferbloat?") and also

Update Make Wi-Fi Fast home page with new information about LEDE wifi fixes and Toke's paper

[This time for sure...]

Hi Toke,

1) I don't understand the rules/ethics/politics of publishing a link to a preprint. I look to your guidance, but we shouldn't hide our light under a bushel... 2) I changed several sentences to start each on a new line. It makes detecting editing changes much easier to see (in the future). 3) Fixed the absolute links that could be relative. 4) The "What_t.md" file is a holdover from the Redmine wiki. (Its title started out to be "What to do about Bufferbloat", but something failed, and I didn't see how to modify the title.) I've deleted it. 5) ... http://localhost:1313 http://localhost:1313/ ... Stupid. Fixed. 6) Fixed many aliases to the renamed "What can I do" - I think their case-sensitivity and suffix are correct for links that are in the wild. (Is it possible to browse the error.log file on the bufferbloat.net http://bufferbloat.net/ server?)

Thanks for your patience.

Rich

For the paper I would just write something like "An academic paper describing the current state of the working software has been submitted for publication; a preprint is available at..."

I'll email you the log file.

[richb-hanover]

OK. I'll update the description in my branch. Does it otherwise look OK?

Thanks.

I just pushed that update. Please check.

There are some weird changes to cerowrt/issues/216.md - and a large diff of a .csv file. Why is that?

Also, aliases should not have .md extensions; they operate solely on the publicly visible URL space...

[richb-hanover]

• There don't seem to be any urls-with-.md in the wild, so I have removed those from the aliases.

• The 216.md file has wacky email addresses (if anyone attempted to use them) that were tripping up LinkChecker. Same for the .csv file. But reverted to the master copies, since I care more about publishing these changes than being error-free. (See https://github.com/linkcheck/linkchecker for the software.)

• I added a link to the Untangle firewall (it has fq_codel) and fixed lots of wording/typos.

toke is on a big boat somewhere, and the division of labor here is unclear. But LGTM.
