A few years ago I heard a lot of people worrying about how large buffers in our routers would cause latency problems. It all sounded very serious---like the end of the Internet. But I haven't heard any news for a couple years. Everything on the Wikipedia page looks old:

Is this something people are still concerned about? Were the original reports just hyperbole?
