Well, the > internal TXQ and how that is used is obviously enabling that ;-) So assuming that these drivers all have a TX queue length of zero and therefore do not make use of Linux queueing disciplines then yes techincally LLTX is fine. However, I must say that it is much better to provide real congestion feedback to the stack when you can because otherwise things like UDP may fall apart.
