Sorry didnt read it; did the 30 sec scan ..
If this is meant to be for users, why are you talking about skb->priority?
Isnt it sufficient to just call it prioirity?
Also, if you think that Alexeys imp. is based on Floyd only, you are
highly mistaken;
Going back to high latency response mode ...

cheers,

It's not done yet and may need some readability tuning. Note however that
skb->priority is a bit overloaded. It can contain a priority, but also a
32bit encoded classid. These are different things, so they deserve different
mention.
