Actually, the only news here is ability to control download/upload throughput ratio - and that, as I said, works (mostly) as expected.
For p2p you could get more with old dynamic ratio because with new fixed ratio there is max 80% "per side throughput" limit.
In my example, with dynamic ratio we could get 100mbps on bandwidth test (half-duplex) and with fixed ratio we're getting up to 80mbps because of that 80% ratio limit.
So, there is no real throughput improvements with this new option (at least not in p2p) but it gives us ability to apply more control in some specific scenarios.
What would really make a difference in p2mp scenario is manual control over client's priority or air-time (percentage of AP's time designated for each CPE connected to AP). NV2 is already doing this automatically better than nstreme but still..... manual control over that per CPE would be a GIANT leap forward.
In that way, one bad CPE wouldn't be able to ruin AP performance for the rest of the clients.
