Step 0: Figure out what the new option is, and why you think it will be media-friendly. Hint: some 80% of internet traffic is streaming video, and seems to be doing OK without any new options. So you may want to double-check what you're planning to achieve. There's a pretty good chance that what you're trying to do can *already* be done with an existing tunable parameter, or with a traffic control module external to the main TCP stack (see the work on fq_codel to stop bufferbloat for an example). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
