Thx for the miserable results. They are always useful. This was one of my all time favorite rants, at SIGCOMM:
Nobody's invited me back.
I would have hoped that by increasing
tx_queue_data2_burst=3.0
to 5, we would have seen the 570Mbit download that @nbd claimed in his commit. It could be that the VI-queue style
tx_queue_data2_aifs=1
tx_queue_data2_cwmin=7
tx_queue_data2_cwmax=15
could be getting in the way here. I'd only intended btw to test that part briefly, and then actually test the VI queue by itself and vs the BE queue. We have a lot of people in the IETF that really want to use up the VI queue for a new kind of traffic, and it concerns me. Similarly Qosify is trying to land stuff there also.
