Add queue length adjustment capabilities to traffic shaper based on network size
0%
Description
On larger networks, queue limits appear to perform better and drop less when increased in proportion to the size of the network, based on a known packets per second metric of each queue.
Perhaps a generic scale could be created and queues calculated based on network size.
Small Network < 50 nodes (default)
Medium Network > 50 nodes < 500 nodes
Large Network > 500 nodes

Actually, after some research and a better understanding of queuing, this is not practical.
Queue lengths need to be set in such a way as to allow no more than 0.5-1 second of backlogging (i.e. 2000 Packets Per Second should have a queue length between 1000-2000). Unfortunately, this is going to be different in each environment and is highly dependent on the traffic hitting each queue.

As noted, it doesn't appear to be viable.
