One of the beauties of codel is it doesn't care the size of the frame at all, it only cares about how long it takes to deliver it. Now, there are some interesting interactions between codel delivering a big fat TSO string of packets and then a smaller packet (collatoral damage), but they aren't bad, and there's fixes in 3.12 for tso that make life saner. fq_codel's quantum controls the degree of mixing between flows, set it really low (say 300) to help voip and acks out on slow asymmetric links, don't set it lower, otherwise leave it alone. >> >> Thanks >> >> -- >> Alessandro Bolletta >> Mediaspot S.r.l. >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Codel mailing list >> Codel@lists.bufferbloat.net >> https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/codel > > > > -- > Dave Täht > > Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: > http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html > > > _______________________________________________ > Codel mailing list > Codel@lists.bufferbloat.net > https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/codel -- Dave Täht Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html _______________________________________________ Codel mailing list Codel@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/codel
