Getting a new kernel version stable is kind of a long, hard effort, don't you think? Adding a single feature seems simpler... > Are there custom pieces in 3.4 which need to be forward ported? Doesn't look like it. Of course, any major kernel version change requires extensive testing... > > http://snapon.lab.bufferbloat.net/~cero2/edgerouter-fq_codel-patches/ Wanted to convince ubnt that there was value in fq_codel. They only just released v1.4.1 with 3.4 (a huge jump forward from their last release), the prospect of another 3 year jump nonplussed them. Besides the openwrt version is already at 3.10, and I was curious as to being able to compare 3.4 vs 3.x, and how another OS implements QoS.
