Correct. When qdisc_run happens we take an skb off the head of the queue. If it can't be transmitted right away, we try to put it back in the same spot. If you have two qdisc_run's happening at the same time then that spot could be different. > Your super-packet issue may be different though .. The reordering issue is not related to super-packets.
