Hi,
this was originally mentioned in [1] and it seems some SDRs use it. I have been using it for some time with quisk and HL2 and I haven't seen any problems. I also haven't seen any visible improvements, but it's because I have dedicated ethernet thus the packet scheduling is not an issue there. I think generally it could help
