I'd love to see this one implemented. I'm using HFSC more than a year and it never provides proper QoS on ATM/ADSL links; low delays can never be achieved even with significant throttling below the h/w link bandwidth. This would help a lot regarding the amount of adsl users but on the other hand- there's not many HFSC implementations in real-life I guess (users seem to be afraid of it's 'complexity'). This idea doesn't seem look dirty- is there a chance to implement it in the kernel and iproute? regards - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
