BQL makes tuning down the tx ring no longer needed!
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With the tx ring turned down to 4 we'd got back control on big packets.
Finally.

But we compromised ack performance when you could only have 4 packets
outstanding.

With BQL, we get the best of both
worlds, and turning down the tx ring hurts rather than helps.

Let BQL have this job.
