menuconfig NET_SCHED
bool "QoS and/or fair queueing"
select NET_SCH_FIFO
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.
if NET_SCHED
comment "Queueing/Scheduling"
config NET_SCH_CBQ
tristate "Class Based Queueing (CBQ)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) packet
scheduling algorithm. This algorithm classifies the waiting packets
into a tree-like hierarchy of classes; the leaves of this tree are
in turn scheduled by separate algorithms.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_cbq.c> for more details.
CBQ is a commonly used scheduler, so if you're unsure, you should
say Y here. Then say Y to all the queueing algorithms below that you
want to use as leaf disciplines.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_cbq.
config NET_SCH_HTB
tristate "Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Hierarchical Token Buckets (HTB)
packet scheduling algorithm. See
<http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/> for complete manual and
in-depth articles.
HTB is very similar to CBQ regarding its goals however is has
different properties and different algorithm.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_htb.
config NET_SCH_HFSC
tristate "Hierarchical Fair Service Curve (HFSC)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Hierarchical Fair Service Curve
(HFSC) packet scheduling algorithm.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_hfsc.
config NET_SCH_ATM
tristate "ATM Virtual Circuits (ATM)"
depends on ATM
help
Say Y here if you want to use the ATM pseudo-scheduler. This
provides a framework for invoking classifiers, which in turn
select classes of this queuing discipline. Each class maps
the flow(s) it is handling to a given virtual circuit.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_atm.c> for more details.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_atm.
config NET_SCH_PRIO
tristate "Multi Band Priority Queueing (PRIO)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use an n-band priority queue packet
scheduler.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_prio.
config NET_SCH_MULTIQ
tristate "Hardware Multiqueue-aware Multi Band Queuing (MULTIQ)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use an n-band queue packet scheduler
to support devices that have multiple hardware transmit queues.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_multiq.
config NET_SCH_RED
tristate "Random Early Detection (RED)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Random Early Detection (RED)
packet scheduling algorithm.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_red.c> for more details.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_red.
config NET_SCH_SFB
tristate "Stochastic Fair Blue (SFB)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Stochastic Fair Blue (SFB)
packet scheduling algorithm.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_sfb.c> for more details.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_sfb.
config NET_SCH_SFQ
tristate "Stochastic Fairness Queueing (SFQ)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Stochastic Fairness Queueing (SFQ)
packet scheduling algorithm.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_sfq.c> for more details.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_sfq.
config NET_SCH_TEQL
tristate "True Link Equalizer (TEQL)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the True Link Equalizer (TLE) packet
scheduling algorithm. This queueing discipline allows the combination
of several physical devices into one virtual device.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_teql.c> for more details.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_teql.
config NET_SCH_TBF
tristate "Token Bucket Filter (TBF)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Token Bucket Filter (TBF) packet
scheduling algorithm.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_tbf.c> for more details.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_tbf.
config NET_SCH_CBS
tristate "Credit Based Shaper (CBS)"
help
Say Y here if you want to use the Credit Based Shaper (CBS) packet
scheduling algorithm.
See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_cbs.c> for more details.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_cbs.
config NET_SCH_ETF
tristate "Earliest TxTime First (ETF)"
help

(GRED) packet scheduling algorithm for some of your network devices
(see the top of <file:net/sched/sch_red.c> for details and
references about the algorithm).
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the

config NET_SCH_PLUG
tristate "Plug network traffic until release (PLUG)"
help
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.
The Remus HA project uses this module to enable speculative execution
of virtual machines by allowing the generated network output to be rolled
back if needed.
