Add classful DRR scheduler as a more flexible replacement for SFQ. The main difference to the algorithm described in "Efficient Fair Queueing using Deficit Round Robin" is that this implementation doesn't drop packets from the longest queue on overrun because its classful and limits are handled by each individual child qdisc.

---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 <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>.
|
|
That package also contains some documentation; for more, check out
|
|
<http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/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.
