IMHO the RED would be useful here. SFQ limits total packet count to 128 packets. So that one flow can simply fill whole SFQ leaving small space for other flows. I'm able to simulate it using one host generating huge UDP flow. All others flow goes away :( devik On Mon, 3 Dec 2001, Don Cohen wrote: > > > On Tue, Nov 27, 2001 at 11:53:10AM -0500, Michael T.
