Concept looks good, but I have one question.
When do You plan to add actual data to send? Before probability count or 
after?
I think that backlogged reliable, actual reliable and actual unreliable 
packets should be summed before calc of drop probability, because they 
have higher priority than old unreliable. And only if some free space in 
"budget" remains then probability of drop old UNrealiable packets should 
be calced (if not all should be dropped).
