Otherwise you should have this dropping on your HTB (of course you could use big buffers, but anyway...), instead of STM, but resending could be similar. But, if you have full control on your side, it looks like a kind of realtime traffic, and then HFSC should be more appropriate for this (but I only 'heard' about this). > Yes, for sure.

Then good news: read the code! There is really as little English as possible...
