I gotta say that the whole thing makes my head really hurt, and while this conversation is about how to go about configuring things, I've been unable to get a grip on how flows will actually behave with these offloads present. My overall starting point for thinking about this stuff was described in this preso to broadcom a few years back: http://flent-fremont.bufferbloat.net/~d/broadcom_aug9.pdf More recently I did what I think is my funniest talk ever on these subjects: https://blog.apnic.net/2020/01/22/bufferbloat-may-be-solved-but-its-not-over-yet/ Make some popcorn, take a look. :) I should probably have covered ecn's (mis)behaviors at the end, but I didn't. Steven hemminger's lca talk on these subjects was also a riot... so somehow going from my understanding of how stuff gets configured, to the actual result, is needed, for me to have any opinion at all. You have this stuff basically running already? Can you run various flent.org tests through it? > > Thanks! -- "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Mother Nature cannot be fooled" - Richard Feynman dave@...t.net <Dave Täht> CTO, TekLibre, LLC Tel: 1-831-435-0729
