Re: creating netdev queues on the fly?

More elegant to be sure. But for N you kind of need to do ewma between
aggregated transmission groups.

I speak at Class/Qdisc level. If each transmission group has its own
class [ I believe it should ], it should fit.

I still don't 'get' how we can split out a stream based on a
stationid, toss it in a queue to be further scheduled (my choice would
be QFQ, btw), and then sanely de-schedule a burst of packets for that
destination appropriate for that station's aggregation level and
transmit rate using existing tc methods.

Right now its not possible since we dont have a feedback once a packet
is dequeued from qdisc. But it should be doable.

I liked the callback idea discussed earlier for implementing a
'grouper' of this sort.

That said I'm strongly encouraged by the dialog thus far on this thread.

...

and I assume that you are either making this syntax up or coding
faster than emailing in some tree somewhere...

That because I prefer discussing on this before starting coding once
general idea is accepted.

Note this delay idea is not new, it already was mentioned on netdev some
months ago.
