[LARTC] shaping by packet count rather than bytes ?

2007-10-05 Thread David Boreham
In wireless networks it can be handy to shape by packet rate rather than bytes/s (because capacity is packet-rate-limited). Has anyone done any work on packet-rate shaping ? Thanks. ___ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl
