weight_p is used as the burst xmit packet quota in the while loop of the __qdisc_run function, does anybody can elaborate the benefit of the weight_p introduced here? what's the consequence without it? Thanks! -- Den

It acts as a quota to introduce fairness among qdiscs. See also slide 7 onwards for experiments with/without it: http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2011_slides/jamal_netconf2011.pdf
