Well it turns out you can throttle the device from the driver side and keep queueing in the firmware at a reasonable level. Similar to what BQL does for Ethernet cards (and indeed this is called AQL - Airtime Queue Limits). The credit for the idea and initial implementation goes to Kan Yan at Google :) > Is this a feature exclusive of the ath10k-ct driver? Works in generic > ath10k? It's all in mac80211 so it's fairly driver-agnostic. And in OpenWrt head the feature flag is turned on for both variants of the driver. -Toke From zoobab at gmail.com Fri Apr 3 18:25:09 2020 From: zoobab at gmail.com (Benjamin Henrion) Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2020 18:25:09 +0200 Subject: [Battlemesh] FCC vote on 6ghz wifi Message-ID: FCC is about to vote on 6ghz wifi: https://twitter.com/wrash/status/1245862807465148416 https://www.forbes.com/sites/waynerash/2020/04/02/fcc-approval-expected-for-expanded-wifi-at-april-commission-meeting/#2a8b8c7e21a4 Beware of the telco lobby with LTE-U: "WiFi would not be the only unlicensed user of the 6 GHz band.

Be ready for another technical monster: "Once the order takes effect, you’ll see two different kinds of devices that are allowed to operate in the 6 GHz spectrum. Regular power devices will be required to have an automated frequency coordination capability that will help prevent them from interfering with licensed services using the same radio frequencies. Low power devices, which are intended for indoor use in places such as offices and homes, will not need AFC. Low power devices will have access to the full 1200 MHz of the unlicensed 6 GHz band, while the regular power devices are excluded from some portions of the band. The AFC capability will require the devices to have geolocation, mostly using GPS, and an internet connection to the FCC’s universal licensing database." -- Benjamin Henrion (zoobab) Email: zoobab at gmail.com Mobile: +32-484-566109 Web: http://www.zoobab.com FFII.org Brussels "In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.

It was designed with teaching in mind: you can show slides, record meetings, take collaborative notes (Etherpad integration), and there are even "break-out" rooms for relaxing between sessions. Here is the website: https://bigbluebutton.org/ Documentation for installing: http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.2/install.html Design: http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.2/design.html Administration interface: http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/greenlight/gl-overview.html Overview video as a participant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYYnryIM0Uw Overview video as a presenter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2tG2SS4gXA I tested it recently: it's a bit heavy-weight and messy on the server-side (it needs 4-8 GB of RAM and a public IP address, and it's a bit fragile once you start to hack into it), but the new HTML5/webRTC client works really well. They run a demo instance with the GreenLight frontend: https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/gl/ You can also use my instance (only for testing) if you want: https://easybbb.polyno.me/ On this instance I installed a very simple frontend called "bbb-easy-join" [1] that makes it look like Jitsi Meet, you can create rooms and share the link to participants. But GreenLight looks nice for managing users, and there are also many integrations [2] and even an integration with Mattermost [3].

As as said here: https://ml.ninux.org/pipermail/battlemesh/2020-April/012024.html I tried Bigbluebutton and it is indeed very robust, even with many people and with people with bad connection. It is not as intuitive as Jitsi Meet and not as "fun", but in my experience it worked a bit better. Also, about the "remote conference" use-case, apparently some people developed such a system based on BigBlueButton.

A technical horror museum. -- Benjamin Henrion (zoobab) Email: zoobab at gmail.com Mobile: +32-484-566109 Web: http://www.zoobab.com FFII.org Brussels "In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy. Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators."

We're also running a public jitsi meet server, but to be honest, even though it has good hardware and a strong 10G link, the quality and configuration has been a bit disappointing. Jitsi isnt the most straightforward to get all the components working. Any idea how ffmuc got it to scale so well? Poking around their wiki to see if they list some instructions for which knobs to tweak..
