             Summary: Controller needs to handle the number of completed packets more intelligently
                 Key: MYNEWT-382
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-382
             Project: Mynewt
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: William San Filippo
            Assignee: William San Filippo


This is more of an issue with a controller only implementation but does also apply to the combined host/controller as well. The current controller stack implements a simple timer (configurable) to tell it when to send the number of completed packets event to the host. Hosts use this event to determine when they are allowed to send the controller more packets. If these events are not coming back quickly enough throughput can be (greatly) impacted.

We need to change how the controller sends back the number of completed packets event to the host so that throughput can be managed more effectively.  There are some fairly simple ways to do this that would greatly improve the current method.
