Should I worry about buffer bloat?
#1
When I run the DSL reports speed test I get a grade of D for buffer bloat ( centurylink DSL  40 up, 5 down ).  The buffer bloat is only on upload and if I configure the speed test to limit things to 3 mbps the bloat goes away.
Since we have a few ways to limit/throttle bandwidth etc in the Jamkazam app, should I even worry about buffer bloat being caused by Jamkazam  outgoing/transmitted data?

In my case I usually have exclusive use of our internet connection during JK sessions.  Hard wired of course.   Our jams are probably 75-80% successful with everybody within 75 miles of eachother.  I seem to get good latency and reasonable jitter, but want to do all I can with the gear I have.

Was even considering a smart/managed gaming switch so I could rate limit ( throttle ) my JK connection, keeping it below any buffer bloat territory.
