I guess that the only case where there is likely to be any significant effects of dropping the whole queue is if someone is sending large amounts of multicast traffic (live video streaming? is that even feasible over WiFi?) while reconfiguring their VLAN setup. That is probably not a terribly common combination... -Toke
