Re: [Cerowrt-devel] htb has internal pfifo queue

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

OH, thank you!

One of the things that irked me on my htb+netem delay/loss setup was
that the need to also feed arp and ND through it resulted in major
startup transients that wouldn't exist in the real world.

So now I understand how to feed those protocols through a separate
unshaped htb queue.

thankyou, thankyou,thankyou
