SQM fix cures gigabit bufferbloat lag
1 min read
Enabling smart queue management (SQM) intentionally caps gigabit speeds by 5-10% to eliminate bufferbloat and lock in sub-15ms latency under load. Fair queuing splits data flows, active queue management drops packets early, and a bandwidth cap forces processing in the router. Consumer routers often lack CPU power for SQM at 1Gbps.
