Unless you have thousands of tcp flows maybe, where (unswapable) kernel memory becomes a precious resource. Of course, if you have a few tcp sockets, just queuing 10 Mbytes per socket will be your best shot, in terms of cpu overhead (one schedule every 5 MBytes or so) _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
