Linux network maintainers have repeatedly rejected attempts by Eric Dumazet and others to expose delack_min and other parameters to userspace. This is the kernel tyranny to which I refer.

Notably many of the people whose proposals have been shot down by linux netdev are currently working on QUIC.

Somewhat related: I do hope userspace network stacks get easier to stand up (with strict testing). It would be nice to move an attack surface like that out of the kernel.
