First off, I notice that all the code is lumped together and much of it is generically labelled "scheduling". I'm wondering if it might not be more readable if the list were divided into four sections - "queueing disciplines", "scheduling", "packet classification" and "everything else". Would that seem sensible? Or would it risk making things over-structured? Secondly, there seem to be an awful lot of QoS methods not represented in Linux. Implementing them all might easily double the kernel size for not very much benefit, even if anyone could find the time to do so. On the other hand, there are probably some that are under development and others high on the wishlist. Does anyone know what projects are currently underway or being planned?
