Mr. Nagle's Wild Ride

Adam and the Oxide Friends follow Bryan on Mr. Nagle's Wild Ride as he investigates performance anomalies. Bryan used all manner of tool from gnuplot to DTrace-inspired bpftrace! If you have ever or plan to ever care about the latency of network-borne protocols, you won't want to miss this!

We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording from October 2nd, 2023.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers included Tom Lyon, James Tucker, Eliza Weisman, and Dan Ports.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• Latency Art: X marks the spot
• Latency Art: Rainbow Pterodactyl
• Nagle on Nagle
• Dan's tweet on Nagle
• Eliza's tweet on Nagle
• TCP_NODELAY or TCP? No, delay!
• Dr. Angela Collier on violin plots
• PRs needed!

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
