You are right. He is calculating the exact overhead of pppoa inside the 
kernel (not pppoe because pppoe is not the point of congestion). He also 
modified tc so that overhead can be tweaked in the script.

I know the exact atm rate of my adsl line. So it should be possible to 
make an exact scheduling.

The most important application is VOIP on low rate adsl uploads because 
VOIP packets are small.

I still don't understand why this is not included in the kernel and tc...

My problem is that I have a 2.6.x kernel and his patch is for 2.4.x kernel.
