[PATCH v2 34/40] wl12xx: schedule TX packets according to FW packet occupancy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@xxxxxxxxxx>

When selecting packets for transmission, prefer the ACs that are least
occupied in the FW. When packets for multiple ACs are present in the FW,
it decides which to transmit according to WMM QoS parameters.

With these changes, lower priority ACs should not be starved when higher
priority traffic is present.
