Activity
Täht co-founded the Bufferbloat Project with Jim Gettys, ran the CeroWrt and Make-Wifi-Fast sub-projects, and referees the bufferbloat related mailing lists [1] and related research activities.
In the early stages of the Bufferbloat project he helped prove that applying advanced AQM and Fair Queuing techniques like (FQ-CoDel) to network packet flows would break essential assumptions in existing low priority congestion controls such as bittorrent and LEDBAT and further, that it didn't matter.[2]

(see the help page). to prohibit the installation of 3rd party firmware on home routers.[3][4]
With a long running goal of one day building an internet with sufficiently low latency and jitter that "you could plug your piano into the wall and play with a drummer across town" [5], and a persistent and dedicated explainer of how the internet (and wifi) really work, with lectures at MIT, Stanford "Introduction to CoDel". {{cite web}}

(help), and other internet institutions such as APNIC.
[6]
He has been intensely critical of the academic network research community, extolling open access, open source code and the value of negative and repeatable results. [7]
As one of the instigators of the IETF AQM and Packet Scheduling working group[8], he is the co-author of RFC8290 [9], and a contributor to RFC8289 [10] (CODEL), RFC7567 [11], RFC8034[12], RFC7928[13], RFC7806 [14], and RFC8033[15], and also made contributions to the DOCSIS 3.1 standard.
In 2018, with John Gilmore, and Paul Wouters, he began the IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project[16]. Their Internet drafts proposing allowing unicast use of up to 419 million new IPv4 addresses from the formerly reserved Class E (240/4), 0/8, and the zeroth addresses were presented at the IETF 110 conference [17].
He is a filksinger, often performing songs like "It GPLs me"<ref name="gplsme">"It Gpl's me"., and "One First Landing" at various computer and science fiction conventions.
He serves on the Commons Conservancy<ref name=cc> https://commonsconservancy.org/organisation/. {{cite web}}
