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

  206. This queuing discipline allows userspace to plug/unplug a network
  207. output queue, using the netlink interface. When it receives an
  208. enqueue command it inserts a plug into the outbound queue that

  210. over netlink, causing the plug to be removed and resuming the normal
  211. packet flow.
  212. This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
  213. functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
  214. command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.
