2006-03-22 Thread Ian McDonald
The qdiscs would ideally exist at the layer 2 / layer 3 boundary like existing qdiscs, but the problem is getting the scheduling parameters down that far. Perhaps a transport protocol could create a tagged route entry with the appropriate parameters, the routing layer could assign skbs to it
