The requeue event is useful in finding out when a device is overloaded on the egress (bus or bandwidth). Atached patch introduces this. I would have used the overlimit bits but at the moment thats being used for different semantical reasons. I have not done extensive testing on it. Opinions welcome - If all is good, Dave please apply.Dave, what happened to this? I put the stuff into iproute2 but the requeue stat never made it into 2.6. Is it a bad idea?Yes, API breaker.
Well it seems to work for me:
kernel
New Old
tc New Ok Ok(0)
Old Ok(0) Ok
Because tc correctly handles the returned TLV size.
