Which have often sprouted similarly “smart” hardware to Ethernet, e.g.ĪDSL/VDSL, which must cover a bandwidth range of 250Kbps to 100Mbps. We are looking into other algorithms than BQL for other network types, Perhaps BQL can be fixed to have a lower limit and just periodically

We would like BQL to autotune better, but as of Linux 4.1, it does not.
