[Cerowrt-devel] [Commotion-dev] Commotion Router v1.2 enters release testing

[Dave Taht]

my hope is that you are also including the sqm-scripts or something similar
with this release?

We have it in chaos calmer, I am not sure if the backport made it to
barrier breaker yet.

I've always viewed one of the biggest problems with sharing bandwidth as
sharing it well.
