No, i do not think like this. If we think just for TCP connections we may end up with ideas like changig window size. TCP tunes to send this way but it also tries to send more each 5 seconds, if it have data. SFQ classify connections with ports, esfq classify them and just by IP so we can have flows: SRC IP+proto+DST IP+PORT - one flow just DST IP - one flow another we can think of - one flow So i think just about packets of size bytes but without protos which they carry and TCP with its features to tune becomes a kind of exception. > > > Measurement in bytes can make this more incorrect since you have enqueued > > packets with different lenghts which you can not split a part and dequeue > > in bytes (sigh wouldn't it be nice? ), counting queues in packets (exactly > > what they have) is better.

I didn't get it ? What do you mean - have different queues agains packets sizes ? > I think the version I sent does give control over queue size and > number of buckets.

We need a way to control what happens in a subqueue there are these for now: - Time limits you've implemented - Someone asked about (G)RED - devik asked about wrr for connections - others ? -- have fun, alex _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
