Indeed, I suspect something like AQL would work for LTE as well. At the right level; think this might need to be in the firmware (which in turn could push back on the host). > Separately, I also wonder whether the Air Time Fairness algorithm > might provide a benefit if the cellphone tower station manufacturers > chose to get into the game. LTE base stations already does TDMA scheduling (which they can do easily because they are centralised and own the license band); airtime fairness is about getting the same benefits into WiFi that LTE has been enjoying from the get-go :) -Toke _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
