My point was that without TSO different submitters will interleave
their streams (because they compete about the qdisc submission) 
and then you end up with a smooth rate over time for all of them.

If you submit in large chunks only (as TSO does) it will always 
be more bursty and that works against the TBF goal.

For a single submitter you would be correct.
