Subject: RE: [EXT] Re: [v1,ethtool] ethtool: add setting frame preemption of
 traffic classes

Hi Murali, Ivan,

Thank you for your feedback. Maybe it is better to use "RFC" type for these patches for the discussion.

I thought the fragment size set 64 is enough for Qbv.  Anyway, if you prefer more details setting. I think it is better to set a specific serial type. For example, '-p' for set  tc-mask  N  and min-fragsize 64, '-P' for status.

The verify process maybe disabled as default.

Furthermore, this setting could be extend for a serial setting for mac and traffic class.
