From bdc450a0bb1d48144ced1f899cc8366ec8e85024 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 21:14:28 +0100 Subject: [PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard dropping Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold. This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this option very carefully, it does more harm than good if (qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst cycles. The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.
