Strike "might".

I saw 64k sized packets out of the GRO implementation on the mvneta
driver on the linksys 1900ac.
I think this explains a lot about the performance of the qos system on
that box's native firmware, dropping
big chunks and not fq-ing well.

disabling GRO packets on all interfaces is hard to get right, and has
a significant cost if
you have more than one interface (as in the edgerouters).

So yes, peeling.

Also I note that at the higher inbound rates (e.g. 100mbit+) policing
is not horrible.
let me discuss that in a different mail.
