Maybe I did not make describe the scenario clearly enough. I meant it would be strange if
- device uses the default (sch_generic) packet scheduler - tx_queue_len is ifconfigŽed to a very low value while the device queue is empty - after that a large transfer is started - during this transfer netstat show large amounts of data in the queues.
