Any chance you could turn ecn on and off and give it a go again in your next test run? Also: --step-size=.04 --socket-stats # the first is helpful to gain more detail, the second as to the behavior of the tcp stack. You might need to run as root (and It's only useful on the tcp_nup test) for the latter (and have the right ss utility) Secondly - and AFTER this patchset stablizes, I'd like us to look into returning the codel default to 10ms or less from it's currently 20ms or worse setting. Tis another easy test And y'all know how much I love the rrul_be and rrul tests..... > > > > Is there an ax QCAXXXX platform, m.2 card, or mini-pci card worth > > testing at this point? > > It will be great if someone with 11.ax platform can help give it a try. > > > How are they handling mu-mimo? > > I think it should still work.
