Packet Scheduling

ANyone know any details about the packet scheduling code? There are about a
dozen deifferent algorithms, none documented except for very ugly
mathematical descriptions.

What I'm after is to find out whether I can make ppp send small packets
before big ones. Or even specific sessions (although I don't expect that).
What I want is for interactive telnet sessions to be responsive while an
ftp or http request is being processed. Under term, packets were
prioritised based on client. I'm expecting you can't do that in tcp but
size should be a good approximation.
