This came up a couple of times already. I don't like HTB's behaviour since you don't notice when your classifiers are incomplete. So I'm against changing HFSC to behave similar. HTB OTOH can't be changed since users probably rely on that, not classifying ARP is a common mistake. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
