Well, pacing is optional in sch_fq. Only the FQ part is not optional. So sch_fq is actually a proper name ;) I have on my plate few things : 1) Add a fallback to actually do pacing in TCP itself, if it detects no pacing happens in a qdisc. This would be okay for devices that have very few local TCP flows (eg a router) 2) Add (optional) pacing to fq_codel. But this would come later. _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
