O oracle of nanog: unlike things like rogue processes eating tons of CPU, it seems to me that network monitoring is essentially a black art for the average schmuck home network operator (of which I count myself). That is: if the "network is slow", it's really hard to tell why that might be and who of the eleventy seven devices on my wifi is sucking the life out of my bandwidth. And then even if I get an idea of who the perp is, my remediation choice seems to be "find that device, smash it with sledge hammer". It seems that there really ought to be a better way here to manage my home network. Like, for example, the ability to get stats from router and tell it to shape various devices/flows to play nice. Right now, it seems to me that the state of the art is pretty bad -- static-y kinds of setups for static-y kinds of flows that people-y kind of users don't understand or touch on their home routers. The ob-nanog is that "my intertoobs r slow" is most likely a call to your support desks which is expensive, of course. Is anything happening on this front? Is openwrt, for example, paying much attention to this problem? Mike
