They tend to implement round-robin or some similar fairness algorithm amongst the queues, with zero concern about packet priorities. It really is just like a bunch of queues to the phsyical layer, fairly shared. These things are built for parallelization, not prioritization. -- 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
