[PATCH v6 07/25] loopback: Adjust rate based on latency difference

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

 



Replace the current latency controller with a modified P-controller. For
better readability separate the controller function. For small latency
differences, the controller forms a classical P-controller while it saturates
at 1% deviation from the base rate for large latency differences.
