What HOWTO? Is this one of those schedulers that Martin wrote? Never
paid much attention; Maybe because i never thought that WRR was important
once we had DRR.

WRR works well when you apriori know the packet/cell sizes (eg in ATM).
If you cant do this, then WRR is unfair once you start having a lot of
flows going or you mistweak your weights etc. DRR fixes this. The
improvements on computation comes in as a bonus _not_ as the advantage of
DRR over WRR.
Why dont you read the classical paper at:
