The code wouldn't be very complicated, it just adds some overhead. If you do something like I described in my previous mail the overhead for people not using it would be an additional pointer test before reading skb->len. I guess we could also make it a compile time option. I personally think this is something that really improves our quality of implementation, after all, its "wire" resources qdiscs are meant to manage. > BTW, I forgot to mention one thing on the bandwidth issue is we could do > is send netlink events on link speed changes too; some listener > somewhere would then do the adjustment.
