Subject: stoachastic unfair queueing

so here's an idea from the mouths of midsummer madness:

a problem with stat muxing is that it leads interleaved packets
traversing heterogeneous links to get more bursty...

how about we use the randomness of some traffic to causally make other
traffic smoother - basically, its a stochastic shaper, based on the
_opposite_ of stochastic fair queueing....you use a hash based on
other packets's classification to queue (or drop) the current packet

i leave it as an excercise for the reader to figure out the
details...
