Well, there are already hooks to fake the TX time spent, right? Having both TX and RX busy times available to rate control so it can better schedule TX loads based on current RX workloads would be nice. Having access to schedule which peer and how much to send to each peer would be nice. Stuff like "peer X only can have up to x ms in this WME class this round", so you don't have a busy, close peer monopolising the air. It also means you can start doing smart things with far away peers who retransmit a lot - they're likely tying up a lot of airtime. None of this is new. It's just, you know, new to open source. :-) Adrian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
