Re: [PATCH] Improve behaviour of Netlink Sockets

Pablo,

Please dont be discouraged by this. You have some valuable contribution
it just needs to be put in proper context.
I am sure Herbert will be than happy to help you clean the patch as will
I when i get cycles.
Post the stress tool when you get the chance.
 
cheers,

Theres one valuable piece in his patch. Ability to congestion control

recommend we revert the patch until we have a better resolution, Dave?
 

whatever you decided I'll be ok to improve the solution

Pablo you really need to provide some good testcases to prove this.
 

Jamal, I told you that I made a tool to stress netlink sockets, I think 
that it could help. I'll post in some hours to the maillist.
