Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Bufferbloat in computer networks can cause delays and glitches in internet traffic, particularly during activities like video calls. Bufferbloat occurs when network buffers fill up with data packets, causing increased latency. Active Queue Management (AQM) techniques like CAKE can be used to dynamically adjust and manage network queues, resulting in more stable and responsive network performance.
