Re: [81attendees] sucky Delta hotel network (and bufferbloat)

Thanks for the pointers, will digest.

The hotel manager I spoke to, didn't even know what IETF is about, and didn't expect any excessive WiFi demands breaking hotel's Internet access service.
Maybe as a community, going forward we could provide more candid feedback re Internet/WiFi performance during IETF gatherings.
Or better give hotel mgmt heads-up about coming tsunami of Internet users... so that hotel could address it pro-actively..

The business incentive for the hotel would be to avoid giving 20% discounts if things don't work out as per my case :)
+ customer satisfaction.

Thanks,
Maciek.
