help
|
When the kernel has several packets to send out over a network
|
device, it has to decide which ones to send first, which ones to
|
delay, and which ones to drop. This is the job of the queueing
|
disciplines, several different algorithms for how to do this
|
"fairly" have been proposed.
|
|
If you say N here, you will get the standard packet scheduler, which
|
is a FIFO (first come, first served). If you say Y here, you will be
|
able to choose from among several alternative algorithms which can
|
then be attached to different network devices. This is useful for
|
example if some of your network devices are real time devices that
|
need a certain minimum data flow rate, or if you need to limit the
|
maximum data flow rate for traffic which matches specified criteria.
|
This code is considered to be experimental.
|
|
To administer these schedulers, you'll need the user-level utilities
|
from the package iproute2+tc at
|
<https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/>. That package
|
also contains some documentation; for more, check out
|
<http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/iproute2>.
|
|
This Quality of Service (QoS) support will enable you to use
|
Differentiated Services (diffserv) and Resource Reservation Protocol
|
(RSVP) on your Linux router if you also say Y to the corresponding
|
classifiers below. Documentation and software is at
|
<http://diffserv.sourceforge.net/>.
|
|
If you say Y here and to "/proc file system" below, you will be able
|
to read status information about packet schedulers from the file
|
/proc/net/psched.

|
The available schedulers are listed in the following questions; you
|
can say Y to as many as you like. If unsure, say N now.

This queuing discipline allows userspace to plug/unplug a network

output queue, using the netlink interface. When it receives an

enqueue command it inserts a plug into the outbound queue that

causes following packets to enqueue until a dequeue command arrives
|
over netlink, causing the plug to be removed and resuming the normal
|
packet flow.

This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
|
functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
|
command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.

of virtual machines by allowing the generated network output to be rolled
