Possible, but it is not usually in the real world. Setups like WonderShaper which do this on the host side are pretty common. > then the qdisc could/should place a cap on the size of a 'TSO' based on > the bitrate (and perhaps input as to how much time any one "burst" of > data should be allowed to consume on the network) and pass that up the > stack? right now you seem to be proposing what is effectively a cap of > 1 MSS. Hmm, that would probably be possible for TBF, but I'm not sure this can be really done in a useful way for the more complicated qdiscs. Especially since they would likely need to turn on/off GSO regularly when dynamic circumstances change and there is not really a good way to affect a socket after it was created. -Andi -- 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
