I only don’t love the idea of —tos accepting a DSCP text value when the field isn’t called the ToS field anymore. I know people look for tos because that’s what they’ve been used to all these years, but I rather like getting rid of old stuff when possible. I’d feel more comfortable with —ds, as it’s the DS field now. I’ll still think about it… >> This would break —dscp’s current behavior, so I would increment the >> version number when I do it, and save it for v1.0 in case there are >> other breaking changes. > > Well, that means Flent would need to deal with this case and detect > which version of irtt is available; which IMO goes into the 'too much > effort' category ;) I hear you. :) _______________________________________________ Flent-users mailing list Flent-users@flent.org http://flent.org/mailman/listinfo/flent-users_flent.org
