At the last techboard meeting, it has been accepted to create a new git tree for the ongoing QoS work. (see minutes http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-March/061009.html)
Quoting http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-March/060387.html " Can you please create a next-tree for QoS Traffic Management with the following details: Maintainer: Cristian Committers: Hemant, Jerin, Cristian " The last detail to discuss is the name of this tree. As it is probably going to be an important amount of work, this tree can live indefinitely as a next- tree to be pulled before each RC1. The suggested names were dpdk-next-qos and dpdk-next-tm. The question is equivalent to choose a name for the new API. Should it be rte_qos or rte_tm? Please let's think how it can evolve in future versions.
