If carriers could use Ethernet VLANs for internal purposes instead of DSCPs, I would count that as progress towards allowing DSCPs to carry end-to-end information. And if there's a desire for a software qdisc which fits that paradigm, then we can do a requirements analysis which might well lead to something useful being developed. But that isn't going to be Cake. It'll be a different qdisc which might share some features and technology with Cake, but definitely arranged in a different order and with a different focus. - Jonathan Morton _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
