9 When the kernel has several packets to send out over a network
10 device, it has to decide which ones to send first, which ones to
Thomas Graf52ab4ac2005-11-01 15:13:02 +010011 delay, and which ones to drop. This is the job of the queueing
12 disciplines, several different algorithms for how to do this
Sam Ravnborg6a2e9b72005-07-11 21:13:56 -070013 "fairly" have been proposed.
14
15 If you say N here, you will get the standard packet scheduler, which
16 is a FIFO (first come, first served). If you say Y here, you will be
17 able to choose from among several alternative algorithms which can
18 then be attached to different network devices. This is useful for
19 example if some of your network devices are real time devices that
20 need a certain minimum data flow rate, or if you need to limit the
21 maximum data flow rate for traffic which matches specified criteria.
22 This code is considered to be experimental.
23
24 To administer these schedulers, you'll need the user-level utilities
Andrew Shewmaker5d330cd2014-12-03 14:07:31 -080025 from the package iproute2+tc at
26 <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/>. That package

344 This queuing discipline allows userspace to plug/unplug a network
345 output queue, using the netlink interface. When it receives an
346 enqueue command it inserts a plug into the outbound queue that
347 causes following packets to enqueue until a dequeue command arrives
348 over netlink, causing the plug to be removed and resuming the normal
349 packet flow.
350
351 This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
352 functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
353 command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.
354 The Remus HA project uses this module to enable speculative execution
355 of virtual machines by allowing the generated network output to be rolled
356 back if needed.
