What about other potential parameters like MAC fragment size, mac hold?
Shouldn't be it considered along with other FP parameters to provide correct
interface later?
Say, preemption, lets name it fp-mask or frame-preemption-mask.
Then other potential setting can be similar and added later:
frame-preemption-mask
frame-preemption-fragsize
frame-preemption-machold
....
mac-hold it's rather flag, at least I've used it as priv-flag.
so can or so
frame-preemption-flags
