@LWN See also: Vint Cerf's comments on Dave's passing: "I could not say better than Frank already has how much Dave's work has helped to improve our experience of the Internet. I can't think of anyone more dedicated to the proposition that performance counts and should be pursued with determination and vigor. I've known Dave for many years and greatly valued his counsel and technical skills - to say nothing of his healthy sense of humor. I will miss him but will be always grateful to have known him."

@corbet @LWN I was very happy to be a human packet during Dave's Linux.conf.au '20 talk during the live (as in with people as packets) demonstration of bufferbloat and how different algorithms help.

He was a wonderful person.
