Re: wmm admission control in mac80211

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

 



Hi,

In the current driver operation (ieee80211_ops)  there is no provision for configuring medium time. But this would be essential for admission control.

Will it be better to add a new (optional) operation in ieee80211 or can we add a new field in ieee80211_tx_queue_params?

Regards,
Soumik

I have started and implementation to support wmm admission control in mac80211

The implementation also included an API with nl80211.

I will probably send an RFC in the upcoming days.
