Not always the router #47

bufferbloar.net usually points the router as the source of buffer-bloat, but that's not always the case. It can be any network device.

For example my computer suffered from it on the Ethernet cable, but when I tried with a second computer the phenomenon didn't appear. So the Ethernet adapter was the cause itself, not the router.

I think it would be good clarifying that it could be due to any device. And mention that usually the router is to blame, just not always.

Which page are you referring to here, specifically?

All the documentation presumes that the fix lies withing the router.

For example, this.
