Hm, the way I read the docs, figuring out the "good" values is not
that straight-forward, and doing this will anyway be obsolete soon, so
not sure we should be setting anything by default. However, we
probably should make it much simpler to configure. We could add
support for both ringbuffer and quelength sizes to our link files [0],
so admins colud implement the bufferbloat recommendations by doing
something like:

----8<------
/etc/systemd/network/00-wlan.link
[Match]
Type=wlan

[Link]
TransmitRingBuffer=4
TransmitQueueLength=16
----8<------

(suggestions welcome for the naming of the variables and also for man
page sections).

These settings would then be applied by udev to any udev interface as
it appears (and before libudev notifies applications about its
existence).

Does something like this make sense?

Cheers,

Tom
