Gentlemen,
Two pull requests https://github.com/dtaht/sch_cake/pull/26 &
https://github.com/dtaht/tc-adv/pull/11
These drop the collection of last packet's length for stats purposes.
I've not dropped maxlen as I have personally found that *incredibly*
useful in working out what overheads linux has already accounted for on
a variety of connections. It is also a useful indicator of GSO/GRO
activity.
Not updating another variable (memory write) for each packet may help
cake's CPU usage a little.
Done in a backwards compatible way for tc.
Please ACK/NACK as you see fit.
Kevin
