The Linux traffic's control engine inaccurately calculates

some packet sizes the error rises to over 50%. This occurs
because ADSL uses ATM as its link layer transport, and ATM
transmits packets in fixed sized 53 byte cells.
I could have sworn that DSL uses its own framing protocol that is
similar to the frame/superframe structure of HDSL ( T1 ) lines and over
that you can run ATM or ethernet. Or is it typically ethernet -> ATM ->
HDSL?
In any case, why does the kernel care about the exact time that the IP
packet has been received and reassembled on the headend?
