For example providing an additional configuration parameter that let fireqos use an average traffic overhead calculation?\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/firehol/firehol/issues/comments/223627908","html_url":"https://github.com/firehol/firehol/issues/141#issuecomment-223627908","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/firehol/firehol/issues/141","id":223627908,"user":{"login":"vstefanoxx","id":4615664,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4615664?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx","html_url":"https://github.com/vstefanoxx","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vstefanoxx/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-03T16:32:58Z","updated_at":"2016-06-03T16:32:58Z","body":"Does bandwidth rates in fireqos (input, output, commit, etc.) set the net rate of packet data or the gross rate including headers (ATM, IP, etc.)?\r\n\r\nI'm wondering if it may exists a way to detect empirically the DSL protocol or encapsulation: it seems to me that it should be possible.
