---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.

Say Y here if you want to use the Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) packet
