Motivation, it seems transmit_ts or someting equivalent is needed for efficient broadcast. Your suggestion of keeping the buffer at an average is less efficient. And buffer_fullness is sensitive to packet loss.
rather than a decision being made by default when no one discusses it. Even though this is not a feature I'm particularly interested in.
Well what else should we do? Theres a problem, we know a solution, noone else suggested an equally efficient alternative. I dont have a proof that there is no better alternative. If we wait indefinitly the problem just wont be solved. And waiting while there are zero discussions wont lead to a new alternative being proposed ...
Could you present the exact patch again? I'd like to remember the exact syntax you intended. Did we decide on an "is_broadcast" flag? Besides the syntax which I would like to see before approving, I have no objections. - ods15
