++.B up
++only display running interfaces.
++
++.SH ip address - protocol address management.
++
++The
++.B address
++is a protocol (IP or IPv6) address attached
++to a network device.  Each device must have at least one address
++to use the corresponding protocol.  It is possible to have several
++different addresses attached to one device.  These addresses are not
++discriminated, so that the term
++.B alias
++is not quite appropriate for them and we do not use it in this document.
++.sp
++The
++.B ip addr
++command displays addresses and their properties, adds new addresses
++and deletes old ones.
++
++.SS ip address add - add new protocol address.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the name of the device to add the address to.
++
++.TP
++.BI local " ADDRESS " (default)
++the address of the interface. The format of the address depends
++on the protocol. It is a dotted quad for IP and a sequence of
++hexadecimal halfwords separated by colons for IPv6.  The
++.I ADDRESS
++may be followed by a slash and a decimal number which encodes
++the network prefix length.
++
++.TP
++.BI peer " ADDRESS"
++the address of the remote endpoint for pointopoint interfaces.
++Again, the
++.I ADDRESS
++may be followed by a slash and a decimal number, encoding the network
++prefix length.  If a peer address is specified, the local address
++cannot have a prefix length.  The network prefix is associated
++with the peer rather than with the local address.
++
++.TP
++.BI broadcast " ADDRESS"
++the broadcast address on the interface.
++.sp
++It is possible to use the special symbols
++.B '+'
++and
++.B '-'
++instead of the broadcast address.  In this case, the broadcast address
++is derived by setting/resetting the host bits of the interface prefix.
++
++.TP
++.BI label " NAME"
++Each address may be tagged with a label string.
++In order to preserve compatibility with Linux-2.0 net aliases,
++this string must coincide with the name of the device or must be prefixed
++with the device name followed by colon.
++
++.TP
++.BI scope " SCOPE_VALUE"
++the scope of the area where this address is valid.
++The available scopes are listed in file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_scopes" .
++Predefined scope values are:
++
++.in +8
++.B global
++- the address is globally valid.
++.sp
++.B site
++- (IPv6 only) the address is site local, i.e. it is
++valid inside this site.
++.sp
++.B link
++- the address is link local, i.e. it is valid only on this device.
++.sp

++
++.SS ip address flush - flush protocol addresses
++This command flushes the protocol addresses selected by some criteria.
++
++.PP
++This command has the same arguments as
++.B show.
++The difference is that it does not run when no arguments are given.
++
++.PP
++.B Warning:
++This command (and other
++.B flush
++commands described below) is pretty dangerous.  If you make a mistake,
++it will not forgive it, but will cruelly purge all the addresses.
++
++.PP
++With the
++.B -statistics
++option, the command becomes verbose. It prints out the number of deleted
++addresses and the number of rounds made to flush the address list.  If
++this option is given twice,
++.B ip addr flush
++also dumps all the deleted addresses in the format described in the
++previous subsection.
++
++.SH ip neighbour - neighbour/arp tables management.
++
++.B neighbour
++objects establish bindings between protocol addresses and
++link layer addresses for hosts sharing the same link.
++Neighbour entries are organized into tables. The IPv4 neighbour table
++is known by another name - the ARP table.
++
++.P
++The corresponding commands display neighbour bindings
++and their properties, add new neighbour entries and delete old ones.
++
++.SS ip neighbour add - add a new neighbour entry
++.SS ip neighbour change - change an existing entry
++.SS ip neighbour replace - add a new entry or change an existing one
++
++These commands create new neighbour records or update existing ones.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " ADDRESS " (default)
++the protocol address of the neighbour. It is either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the interface to which this neighbour is attached.
++
++.TP
++.BI lladdr " LLADDRESS"
++the link layer address of the neighbour.
++.I LLADDRESS
++can also be
++.BR "null" .
++
++.TP
++.BI nud " NUD_STATE"
++the state of the neighbour entry.
++.B nud
++is an abbreviation for 'Neigh bour Unreachability Detection'.
++The state can take one of the following values:
++
++.in +8
++.B permanent
++- the neighbour entry is valid forever and can be only
++be removed administratively.
++.sp
++
++.B noarp
++- the neighbour entry is valid. No attempts to validate
++this entry will be made but it can be removed when its lifetime expires.
++.sp
++
++.B reachable
++- the neighbour entry is valid until the reachability
++timeout expires.
++.sp
++
++.B stale
++- the neighbour entry is valid but suspicious.
++This option to
++.B ip neigh
++does not change the neighbour state if it was valid and the address
++is not changed by this command.
++.in -8
++
++.SS ip neighbour delete - delete a neighbour entry
++This command invalidates a neighbour entry.
++
++.PP
++The arguments are the same as with
++.BR "ip neigh add" ,
++except that
++.B lladdr
++and
++.B nud
++are ignored.
++
++.PP
++.B Warning:
++Attempts to delete or manually change a
++.B noarp
++entry created by the kernel may result in unpredictable behaviour.
++Particularly, the kernel may try to resolve this address even
++on a
++.B NOARP
++interface or if the address is multicast or broadcast.
++
++.SS ip neighbour show - list neighbour entries
++
++This commands displays neighbour tables.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " ADDRESS " (default)
++the prefix selecting the neighbours to list.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++only list the neighbours attached to this device.
++
++.TP
++.B unused
++only list neighbours which are not currently in use.
++
++.TP
++.BI nud " NUD_STATE"
++only list neighbour entries in this state.
++.I NUD_STATE
++takes values listed below or the special value
++.B all
++which means all states.  This option may occur more than once.
++If this option is absent,
++.B ip
++lists all entries except for
++.B none
++and
++.BR "noarp" .
++
++.SS ip neighbour flush - flush neighbour entries
++This command flushes neighbour tables, selecting
++entries to flush by some criteria.
++
++.PP
++This command has the same arguments as
++.B show.
++The differences are that it does not run when no arguments are given,
++and that the default neighbour states to be flushed do not include
++.B permanent
++and
++.BR "noarp" .
++
++.PP
++With the
++.B -statistics
++option, the command becomes verbose.  It prints out the number of
++deleted neighbours and the number of rounds made to flush the
++neighbour table.  If the option is given
++twice,
++.B ip neigh flush
++also dumps all the deleted neighbours.
++
++.SH ip route - routing table management
++Manipulate route entries in the kernel routing tables keep
++information about paths to other networked nodes.
++.sp
++.B Route types:
++
++.in +8
++.B unicast
++- the route entry describes real paths to the destinations covered
++by the route prefix.
++
++.sp
++.B unreachable
++- these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are discarded and the
++ICMP message
++.I host unreachable
++is generated.
++The local senders get an
++.I EHOSTUNREACH
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B blackhole
++- these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are discarded silently.
++The local senders get an
++.I EINVAL
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B prohibit
++- these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are discarded and the
++ICMP message
++.I communication administratively prohibited
++is generated.  The local senders get an
++.I EACCES
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B local
++- the destinations are assigned to this host.  The packets are looped
++back and delivered locally.
++
++.sp
++.B broadcast
++- the destinations are broadcast addresses.  The packets are sent as
++link broadcasts.
++
++.sp
++.B throw
++- a special control route used together with policy rules. If such a
++route is selected, lookup in this table is terminated pretending that
++no route was found.  Without policy routing it is equivalent to the
++absence of the route in the routing table.  The packets are dropped
++and the ICMP message
++.I net unreachable
++is generated.  The local senders get an
++.I ENETUNREACH
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B nat
++- a special NAT route.  Destinations covered by the prefix
++are considered to be dummy (or external) addresses which require translation
++to real (or internal) ones before forwarding.  The addresses to translate to
++are selected with the attribute
++.BR "via" .
++
++.sp
++.B anycast
++.RI "- " "not implemented"
++the destinations are
++.I anycast
++addresses assigned to this host.  They are mainly equivalent
++to
++.B local
++with one difference: such addresses are invalid when used
++as the source address of any packet.
++
++.sp
++.B multicast
++- a special type used for multicast routing.  It is not present in
++normal routing tables.
++.in -8
++
++.P
++.B Route tables:
++Linux-2.x can pack routes into several routing
++tables identified by a number in the range from 1 to 255 or by
++name from the file
++.B /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
++. By default all normal routes are inserted into the
++.B main
++table (ID 254) and the kernel only uses this table when calculating routes.
++
++.sp
++Actually, one other table always exists, which is invisible but
++even more important.  It is the
++.B local
++table (ID 255).  This table
++consists of routes for local and broadcast addresses.  The kernel maintains
++this table automatically and the administrator usually need not modify it
++or even look at it.
++
++The multiple routing tables enter the game when
++.I policy routing
++is used.
++
++.SS ip route add - add new route
++.SS ip route change - change route
++.SS ip route replace - change or add new one
++
++.TP
++.BI to " TYPE PREFIX " (default)
++the destination prefix of the route.  If
++.I TYPE
++is omitted,
++.B ip
++assumes type
++.BR "unicast" .
++Other values of
++.I TYPE
++are listed above.
++.I PREFIX
++is an IP or IPv6 address optionally followed by a slash and the
++prefix length.  If the length of the prefix is missing,
++.B ip
++assumes a full-length host route.  There is also a special
++.I PREFIX
++.B default
++- which is equivalent to IP
++.B 0/0
++or to IPv6
++.BR "::/0" .
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++the Type Of Service (TOS) key.  This key has no associated mask and
++the longest match is understood as: First, compare the TOS
++of the route and of the packet.  If they are not equal, then the packet
++may still match a route with a zero TOS.
++.I TOS
++is either an 8 bit hexadecimal number or an identifier
++from
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_dsfield" .
++
++.TP
++.BI metric " NUMBER"
++.TP
++.BI preference " NUMBER"
++the preference value of the route.
++.I NUMBER
++is an arbitrary 32bit number.
++
++.TP
++.BI table " TABLEID"
++the table to add this route to.
++.I TABLEID
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_tables" .
++If this parameter is omitted,
++.B ip
++assumes the
++.B main
++table, with the exception of
++.BR local " , " broadcast " and " nat
++routes, which are put into the
++.B local
++table by default.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the output device name.
++
++.TP
++.BI via " ADDRESS"
++the address of the nexthop router.  Actually, the sense of this field
++depends on the route type.  For normal
++.B unicast
++routes it is either the true next hop router or, if it is a direct
++route installed in BSD compatibility mode, it can be a local address
++of the interface.  For NAT routes it is the first address of the block
++of translated IP destinations.
++
++.TP
++.BI src " ADDRESS"
++the source address to prefer when sending to the destinations
++covered by the route prefix.
++
++.TP
++.BI realm " REALMID"
++the realm to which this route is assigned.
++.I REALMID
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_realms" .
++
++.TP
++.BI mtu " MTU"
++.TP
++.BI "mtu lock" " MTU"
++the MTU along the path to the destination.  If the modifier
++.B lock
++is not used, the MTU may be updated by the kernel due to
++Path MTU Discovery.  If the modifier
++.B lock
++is used, no path MTU discovery will be tried, all packets
++will be sent without the DF bit in IPv4 case or fragmented
++to MTU for IPv6.
++
++.TP
++.BI window " NUMBER"
++the maximal window for TCP to advertise to these destinations,
++measured in bytes.  It limits maximal data bursts that our TCP
++peers are allowed to send to us.
++
++.TP
++.BI rtt " NUMBER"
++the initial RTT ('Round Trip Time') estimate.

++the initial RTT variance estimate.
++
++.TP
++.BI ssthresh " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++an estimate for the initial slow start threshold.
++
++.TP
++.BI cwnd " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++the clamp for congestion window.  It is ignored if the
++.B lock
++flag is not used.
++
++.TP
++.BI advmss " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++the MSS ('Maximal Segment Size') to advertise to these
++destinations when establishing TCP connections.  If it is not given,
++Linux uses a default value calculated from the first hop device MTU.
++(If the path to these destination is asymmetric, this guess may be wrong.)
++
++.TP
++.BI reordering " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++Maximal reordering on the path to this destination.
++If it is not given, Linux uses the value selected with
++.B sysctl
++variable
++.BR "net/ipv4/tcp_reordering" .
++
++.TP
++.BI nexthop " NEXTHOP"
++the nexthop of a multipath route.
++.I NEXTHOP
++is a complex value with its own syntax similar to the top level
++argument lists:
++
++.in +8
++.BI via " ADDRESS"
++- is the nexthop router.
++.sp
++
++.BI dev " NAME"
++- is the output device.
++.sp
++
++.BI weight " NUMBER"
++- is a weight for this element of a multipath
++route reflecting its relative bandwidth or quality.
++.in -8
++
++.TP
++.BI scope " SCOPE_VAL"
++the scope of the destinations covered by the route prefix.
++.I SCOPE_VAL
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_scopes" .
++If this parameter is omitted,
++.B ip
++assumes scope
++.B global
++for all gatewayed
++.B unicast
++routes, scope
++.B link
++for direct
++.BR unicast " and " broadcast
++routes and scope
++.BR host " for " local
++routes.
++
++.TP
++.BI protocol " RTPROTO"
++the routing protocol identifier of this route.
++.I RTPROTO
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_protos" .
++If the routing protocol ID is not given,
++.B ip assumes protocol
++.B boot
++(i.e. it assumes the route was added by someone who doesn't
++understand what they are doing).  Several protocol values have
++a fixed interpretation.
++Namely:
++
++.in +8
++.B redirect
++- the route was installed due to an ICMP redirect.
++.sp
++
++.B kernel
++- the route was installed by the kernel during autoconfiguration.
++.sp
++
++.B boot
++- the route was installed during the bootup sequence.
++If a routing daemon starts, it will purge all of them.
++.sp
++
++.B static
++- the route was installed by the administrator
++to override dynamic routing. Routing daemon will respect them
++and, probably, even advertise them to its peers.
++.sp
++
++.B ra
++- the route was installed by Router Discovery protocol.
++.in -8
++
++.sp
++The rest of the values are not reserved and the administrator is free
++to assign (or not to assign) protocol tags.
++
++.TP
++.B onlink
++pretend that the nexthop is directly attached to this link,
++even if it does not match any interface prefix.
++
++.TP
++.B equalize
++allow packet by packet randomization on multipath routes.
++Without this modifier, the route will be frozen to one selected
++nexthop, so that load splitting will only occur on per-flow base.
++.B equalize
++only works if the kernel is patched.
++
++.SS ip route delete - delete route
++
++.B ip route del
++has the same arguments as
++.BR "ip route add" ,
++but their semantics are a bit different.
++
++Key values
++.RB "(" to ", " tos ", " preference " and " table ")"
++select the route to delete.  If optional attributes are present,
++.B ip
++verifies that they coincide with the attributes of the route to delete.
++If no route with the given key and attributes was found,
++.B ip route del
++fails.
++
++.SS ip route show - list routes
++the command displays the contents of the routing tables or the route(s)
++selected by some criteria.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " SELECTOR " (default)
++only select routes from the given range of destinations.
++.I SELECTOR
++consists of an optional modifier
++.RB "(" root ", " match " or " exact ")"
++and a prefix.
++.BI root " PREFIX"
++selects routes with prefixes not shorter than
++.IR PREFIX "."
++F.e.
++.BI root " 0/0"
++selects the entire routing table.
++.BI match " PREFIX"
++selects routes with prefixes not longer than
++.IR PREFIX "."
++F.e.
++.BI match " 10.0/16"
++selects
++.IR 10.0/16 ","
++.IR 10/8 " and " 0/0 ,
++but it does not select
++.IR 10.1/16 " and " 10.0.0/24 .
++And
++.BI exact " PREFIX"
++(or just
++.IR PREFIX ")"
++selects routes with this exact prefix. If neither of these options
++are present,
++.B ip
++assumes
++.BI root " 0/0"
++i.e. it lists the entire table.
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++only select routes with the given TOS.
++
++.TP
++.BI table " TABLEID"
++show the routes from this table(s).  The default setting is to show
++.BR table main "."
++.I TABLEID
++may either be the ID of a real table or one of the special values:
++.sp
++.in +8
++.B all
++- list all of the tables.
++.sp
++.B cache
++- dump the routing cache.
++.in -8
++
++.TP
++.B cloned
++.TP
++.B cached
++list cloned routes i.e. routes which were dynamically forked from
++other routes because some route attribute (f.e. MTU) was updated.
++Actually, it is equivalent to
++.BR "table cache" "."
++
++.TP
++.BI from " SELECTOR"
++the same syntax as for
++.BR to ","
++but it binds the source address range rather than destinations.
++Note that the
++.B from
++option only works with cloned routes.
++
++.TP
++.BI protocol " RTPROTO"
++only list routes of this protocol.
++
++.TP
++.BI scope " SCOPE_VAL"
++only list routes with this scope.
++
++.TP
++.BI type " TYPE"
++only list routes of this type.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++only list routes going via this device.
++
++.TP
++.BI via " PREFIX"
++only list routes going via the nexthop routers selected by
++.IR PREFIX "."
++
++.TP
++.BI src " PREFIX"
++only list routes with preferred source addresses selected
++by
++.IR PREFIX "."
++
++.TP
++.BI realm " REALMID"
++.TP
++.BI realms " FROMREALM/TOREALM"
++only list routes with these realms.
++
++.SS ip route flush - flush routing tables
++this command flushes routes selected by some criteria.
++
++.sp
++The arguments have the same syntax and semantics as the arguments of
++.BR "ip route show" ,
++but routing tables are not listed but purged.  The only difference is
++the default action:
++.B show
++dumps all the IP main routing table but
++.B flush
++prints the helper page.
++
++.sp
++With the
++.B -statistics
++option, the command becomes verbose. It prints out the number of
++deleted routes and the number of rounds made to flush the routing
++table. If the option is given
++twice,
++.B ip route flush
++also dumps all the deleted routes in the format described in the
++previous subsection.
++
++.SS ip route get - get a single route
++this command gets a single route to a destination and prints its
++contents exactly as the kernel sees it.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " ADDRESS " (default)
++the destination address.
++
++.TP
++.BI from " ADDRESS"
++the source address.
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++the Type Of Service.
++
++.TP
++.BI iif " NAME"
++the device from which this packet is expected to arrive.
++
++.TP
++.BI oif " NAME"
++force the output device on which this packet will be routed.
++
++.TP
++.B connected
++if no source address 
++.RB "(option " from ")"
++was given, relookup the route with the source set to the preferred
++address received from the first lookup.
++If policy routing is used, it may be a different route.
++
++.P
++Note that this operation is not equivalent to
++.BR "ip route show" .
++.B show
++shows existing routes.
++.B get
++resolves them and creates new clones if necessary.  Essentially,
++.B get
++is equivalent to sending a packet along this path.
++If the
++.B iif
++argument is not given, the kernel creates a route
++to output packets towards the requested destination.
++This is equivalent to pinging the destination
++with a subsequent
++.BR "ip route ls cache" ,
++however, no packets are actually sent.  With the
++.B iif
++argument, the kernel pretends that a packet arrived from this interface
++and searches for a path to forward the packet.
++
++.SH ip rule - routing policy database management
++
++.BR "Rule" s
++in the routing policy database control the route selection algorithm.
++
++.P
++Classic routing algorithms used in the Internet make routing decisions
++based only on the destination address of packets (and in theory,
++but not in practice, on the TOS field).
++
++.P
++In some circumstances we want to route packets differently depending not only
++on destination addresses, but also on other packet fields: source address,
++IP protocol, transport protocol ports or even packet payload.
++This task is called 'policy routing'.
++
++.P
++To solve this task, the conventional destination based routing table, ordered
++according to the longest match rule, is replaced with a 'routing policy
++database' (or RPDB), which selects routes by executing some set of rules.
++
++.P
++Each policy routing rule consists of a
++.B selector
++and an
++.B action predicate.
++The RPDB is scanned in the order of increasing priority. The selector
++of each rule is applied to {source address, destination address, incoming
++interface, tos, fwmark} and, if the selector matches the packet,
++the action is performed.  The action predicate may return with success.
++In this case, it will either give a route or failure indication
++and the RPDB lookup is terminated. Otherwise, the RPDB program
++continues on the next rule.
++
++.P
++Semantically, natural action is to select the nexthop and the output device.
++
++.P
++At startup time the kernel configures the default RPDB consisting of three
++rules:
++
++.TP
++1.
++Priority: 0, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
++table
++.B local
++(ID 255).
++The
++.B local
++table is a special routing table containing
++high priority control routes for local and broadcast addresses.
++.sp
++Rule 0 is special. It cannot be deleted or overridden.
++
++.TP
++2.
++Priority: 32766, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
++table
++.B main
++(ID 254).
++The
++.B main
++table is the normal routing table containing all non-policy
++routes. This rule may be deleted and/or overridden with other
++ones by the administrator.
++
++.TP
++3.
++Priority: 32767, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
++table
++.B default
++(ID 253).
++The
++.B default
++table is empty.  It is reserved for some post-processing if no previous
++default rules selected the packet.
++This rule may also be deleted.
++
++.P
++Each RPDB entry has additional
++attributes.  F.e. each rule has a pointer to some routing
++table.  NAT and masquerading rules have an attribute to select new IP
++address to translate/masquerade.  Besides that, rules have some
++optional attributes, which routes have, namely
++.BR "realms" .
++These values do not override those contained in the routing tables.  They
++are only used if the route did not select any attributes.
++
++.sp
++The RPDB may contain rules of the following types:
++
++.in +8
++.B unicast
++- the rule prescribes to return the route found
++in the routing table referenced by the rule.
++
++.B blackhole
++- the rule prescribes to silently drop the packet.
++
++.B unreachable
++- the rule prescribes to generate a 'Network is unreachable' error.
++
++.B prohibit
++- the rule prescribes to generate 'Communication is administratively
++prohibited' error.
++
++.B nat
++- the rule prescribes to translate the source address
++of the IP packet into some other value.
++.in -8
++
++.SS ip rule add - insert a new rule
++.SS ip rule delete - delete a rule
++
++.TP
++.BI type " TYPE " (default)
++the type of this rule.  The list of valid types was given in the previous
++subsection.
++
++.TP
++.BI from " PREFIX"
++select the source prefix to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " PREFIX"
++select the destination prefix to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI iif " NAME"
++select the incoming device to match.  If the interface is loopback,
++the rule only matches packets originating from this host.  This means
++that you may create separate routing tables for forwarded and local
++packets and, hence, completely segregate them.
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++select the TOS value to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI fwmark " MARK"
++select the
++.B fwmark
++value to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI priority " PREFERENCE"
++the priority of this rule.  Each rule should have an explicitly
++set
++.I unique
++priority value.
++
++.TP
++.BI table " TABLEID"
++the routing table identifier to lookup if the rule selector matches.
++
++.TP
++.BI realms " FROM/TO"
++Realms to select if the rule matched and the routing table lookup
++succeeded.  Realm 
++.I TO
++is only used if the route did not select any realm.
++
++.TP
++.BI nat " ADDRESS"
++The base of the IP address block to translate (for source addresses).
++The 
++.I ADDRESS
++may be either the start of the block of NAT addresses (selected by NAT
++routes) or a local host address (or even zero).
++In the last case the router does not translate the packets, but
++masquerades them to this address.
++
++.B Warning:
++Changes to the RPDB made with these commands do not become active
++immediately.  It is assumed that after a script finishes a batch of
++updates, it flushes the routing cache with
++.BR "ip route flush cache" .
++
++.SS ip rule show - list rules
++This command has no arguments.
++
++.SH ip maddress - multicast addresses management
++
++.B maddress
++objects are multicast addresses.
++
++.SS ip maddress show - list multicast addresses
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME " (default)
++the device name.
++
++.SS ip maddress add - add a multicast address
++.SS ip maddress delete - delete a multicast address
++these commands attach/detach a static link layer multicast address
++to listen on the interface.
++Note that it is impossible to join protocol multicast groups
++statically.  This command only manages link layer addresses.
++
++.TP
++.BI address " LLADDRESS " (default)
++the link layer multicast address.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the device to join/leave this multicast address.
++
++.SH ip mroute - multicast routing cache management
++.B mroute
++objects are multicast routing cache entries created by a user level
++mrouting daemon (f.e.
++.B pimd
++or
++.B mrouted
++).
++
++Due to the limitations of the current interface to the multicast routing
++engine, it is impossible to change
++.B mroute
++objects administratively, so we may only display them.  This limitation
++will be removed in the future.
++
++.SS ip mroute show - list mroute cache entries
++
++.TP
++.BI to " PREFIX " (default)
++the prefix selecting the destination multicast addresses to list.
++
++.TP
++.BI iif " NAME"
++the interface on which multicast packets are received.
++
++.TP
++.BI from " PREFIX"
++the prefix selecting the IP source addresses of the multicast route.
++
++.SH ip tunnel - tunnel configuration
++.B tunnel
++objects are tunnels, encapsulating packets in IPv4 packets and then
++sending them over the IP infrastructure.
++
++.SS ip tunnel add - add a new tunnel
++.SS ip tunnel change - change an existing tunnel
++.SS ip tunnel delete - destroy a tunnel
++
++.TP
++.BI name " NAME " (default)
++select the tunnel device name.
++
++.TP
++.BI mode " MODE"
++set the tunnel mode.  Three modes are currently available:
++.BR ipip ", " sit " and " gre "."
++
++.TP
++.BI remote " ADDRESS"
++set the remote endpoint of the tunnel.
++
++.TP
++.BI local " ADDRESS"
++set the fixed local address for tunneled packets.
++It must be an address on another interface of this host.
++
++.TP
++.BI ttl " N"
++set a fixed TTL 
++.I N
++on tunneled packets.
++.I N
++is a number in the range 1--255. 0 is a special value
++meaning that packets inherit the TTL value. 
++The default value is:
++.BR "inherit" .
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " T"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " T"
++set a fixed TOS
++.I T
++on tunneled packets.
++The default value is:
++.BR "inherit" .
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME" 
++bind the tunnel to the device
++.I NAME
++so that tunneled packets will only be routed via this device and will
++not be able to escape to another device when the route to endpoint
++changes.
++
++.TP
++.B nopmtudisc
++disable Path MTU Discovery on this tunnel.
++It is enabled by default.  Note that a fixed ttl is incompatible
++with this option: tunnelling with a fixed ttl always makes pmtu
++discovery.
++
++.TP
++.BI key " K"
++.TP
++.BI ikey " K"
++.TP
++.BI okey " K"
++.RB ( " only GRE tunnels " )
++use keyed GRE with key
++.IR K ". " K
++is either a number or an IP address-like dotted quad.
++The
++.B key
++parameter sets the key to use in both directions.
++The
++.BR ikey " and " okey
++parameters set different keys for input and output.
++   
++.TP
++.BR csum ", " icsum ", " ocsum
++.RB ( " only GRE tunnels " )
++generate/require checksums for tunneled packets.
++The 
++.B ocsum
++flag calculates checksums for outgoing packets.
++The
++.B icsum
++flag requires that all input packets have the correct
++checksum.  The
++.B csum
++flag is equivalent to the combination
++.BR "icsum ocsum" .
++
++.TP
++.BR seq ", " iseq ", " oseq
++.RB ( " only GRE tunnels " )
++serialize packets.
++The
++.B oseq
++flag enables sequencing of outgoing packets.
++The
++.B iseq
++flag requires that all input packets are serialized.
++The
++.B  seq
++flag is equivalent to the combination 
++.BR "iseq oseq" .
++.B It isn't work. Don't use it.
++
++.SS ip tunnel show - list tunnels
++This command has no arguments.
++
++.SH ip monitor and rtmon - state monitoring
++
++The
++.B ip
++utility can monitor the state of devices, addresses
++and routes continuously.  This option has a slightly different format.
++Namely, the
++.B monitor
++command is the first in the command line and then the object list follows:
++
++.BR "ip monitor" " [ " all " |"
++.IR LISTofOBJECTS " ]"
++
++.I OBJECT-LIST
++is the list of object types that we want to monitor.
++It may contain
++.BR link ", " address " and " route "."
++If no
++.B file
++argument is given,
++.B ip
++opens RTNETLINK, listens on it and dumps state changes in the format
++described in previous sections.
++
++.P
++If a file name is given, it does not listen on RTNETLINK,
++but opens the file containing RTNETLINK messages saved in binary format
++and dumps them.  Such a history file can be generated with the
++.B rtmon
++utility.  This utility has a command line syntax similar to
++.BR "ip monitor" .
++Ideally,
++.B rtmon
++should be started before the first network configuration command
++is issued. F.e. if you insert:
++.sp
++.in +8
++rtmon file /var/log/rtmon.log
++.in -8
++.sp
++in a startup script, you will be able to view the full history
++later.
++
++.P
++Certainly, it is possible to start
++.B rtmon
++at any time.
++It prepends the history with the state snapshot dumped at the moment
++of starting.

++
++.SH ip address - protocol address management.
++
++The
++.B address
++is a protocol (IP or IPv6) address attached
++to a network device.  Each device must have at least one address
++to use the corresponding protocol.  It is possible to have several
++different addresses attached to one device.  These addresses are not
++discriminated, so that the term
++.B alias
++is not quite appropriate for them and we do not use it in this document.
++.sp
++The
++.B ip addr
++command displays addresses and their properties, adds new addresses
++and deletes old ones.
++
++.SS ip address add - add new protocol address.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the name of the device to add the address to.
++
++.TP
++.BI local " ADDRESS " (default)
++the address of the interface. The format of the address depends
++on the protocol. It is a dotted quad for IP and a sequence of
++hexadecimal halfwords separated by colons for IPv6.  The
++.I ADDRESS
++may be followed by a slash and a decimal number which encodes
++the network prefix length.
++
++.TP
++.BI peer " ADDRESS"
++the address of the remote endpoint for pointopoint interfaces.
++Again, the
++.I ADDRESS
++may be followed by a slash and a decimal number, encoding the network
++prefix length.  If a peer address is specified, the local address
++cannot have a prefix length.  The network prefix is associated
++with the peer rather than with the local address.
++
++.TP
++.BI broadcast " ADDRESS"
++the broadcast address on the interface.
++.sp
++It is possible to use the special symbols
++.B '+'
++and
++.B '-'
++instead of the broadcast address.  In this case, the broadcast address
++is derived by setting/resetting the host bits of the interface prefix.
++
++.TP
++.BI label " NAME"
++Each address may be tagged with a label string.
++In order to preserve compatibility with Linux-2.0 net aliases,
++this string must coincide with the name of the device or must be prefixed
++with the device name followed by colon.
++
++.TP
++.BI scope " SCOPE_VALUE"
++the scope of the area where this address is valid.
++The available scopes are listed in file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_scopes" .
++Predefined scope values are:
++
++.in +8
++.B global
++- the address is globally valid.
++.sp
++.B site
++- (IPv6 only) the address is site local, i.e. it is
++valid inside this site.
++.sp

++- the address is link local, i.e. it is valid only on this device.
++.sp

++
++.SS ip address flush - flush protocol addresses
++This command flushes the protocol addresses selected by some criteria.
++
++.PP
++This command has the same arguments as
++.B show.
++The difference is that it does not run when no arguments are given.
++
++.PP
++.B Warning:
++This command (and other
++.B flush
++commands described below) is pretty dangerous.  If you make a mistake,
++it will not forgive it, but will cruelly purge all the addresses.
++
++.PP
++With the
++.B -statistics
++option, the command becomes verbose. It prints out the number of deleted
++addresses and the number of rounds made to flush the address list.  If
++this option is given twice,
++.B ip addr flush
++also dumps all the deleted addresses in the format described in the
++previous subsection.
++
++.SH ip neighbour - neighbour/arp tables management.
++
++.B neighbour
++objects establish bindings between protocol addresses and
++link layer addresses for hosts sharing the same link.
++Neighbour entries are organized into tables. The IPv4 neighbour table
++is known by another name - the ARP table.
++
++.P
++The corresponding commands display neighbour bindings
++and their properties, add new neighbour entries and delete old ones.
++
++.SS ip neighbour add - add a new neighbour entry
++.SS ip neighbour change - change an existing entry
++.SS ip neighbour replace - add a new entry or change an existing one
++
++These commands create new neighbour records or update existing ones.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " ADDRESS " (default)
++the protocol address of the neighbour. It is either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the interface to which this neighbour is attached.
++
++.TP
++.BI lladdr " LLADDRESS"
++the link layer address of the neighbour.
++.I LLADDRESS
++can also be
++.BR "null" .
++
++.TP
++.BI nud " NUD_STATE"
++the state of the neighbour entry.
++.B nud
++is an abbreviation for 'Neigh bour Unreachability Detection'.
++The state can take one of the following values:
++
++.in +8
++.B permanent
++- the neighbour entry is valid forever and can be only
++be removed administratively.
++.sp
++
++.B noarp
++- the neighbour entry is valid. No attempts to validate
++this entry will be made but it can be removed when its lifetime expires.
++.sp
++
++.B reachable
++- the neighbour entry is valid until the reachability
++timeout expires.
++.sp
++
++.B stale
++- the neighbour entry is valid but suspicious.
++This option to
++.B ip neigh
++does not change the neighbour state if it was valid and the address
++is not changed by this command.
++.in -8
++
++.SS ip neighbour delete - delete a neighbour entry
++This command invalidates a neighbour entry.
++
++.PP
++The arguments are the same as with
++.BR "ip neigh add" ,
++except that
++.B lladdr
++and
++.B nud
++are ignored.
++
++.PP
++.B Warning:
++Attempts to delete or manually change a
++.B noarp
++entry created by the kernel may result in unpredictable behaviour.
++Particularly, the kernel may try to resolve this address even
++on a
++.B NOARP
++interface or if the address is multicast or broadcast.
++
++.SS ip neighbour show - list neighbour entries
++
++This commands displays neighbour tables.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " ADDRESS " (default)
++the prefix selecting the neighbours to list.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++only list the neighbours attached to this device.
++
++.TP
++.B unused
++only list neighbours which are not currently in use.
++
++.TP
++.BI nud " NUD_STATE"
++only list neighbour entries in this state.
++.I NUD_STATE
++takes values listed below or the special value
++.B all
++which means all states.  This option may occur more than once.
++If this option is absent,
++.B ip
++lists all entries except for
++.B none
++and
++.BR "noarp" .
++
++.SS ip neighbour flush - flush neighbour entries
++This command flushes neighbour tables, selecting
++entries to flush by some criteria.
++
++.PP
++This command has the same arguments as
++.B show.
++The differences are that it does not run when no arguments are given,
++and that the default neighbour states to be flushed do not include
++.B permanent
++and
++.BR "noarp" .
++
++.PP
++With the
++.B -statistics
++option, the command becomes verbose.  It prints out the number of
++deleted neighbours and the number of rounds made to flush the
++neighbour table.  If the option is given
++twice,
++.B ip neigh flush
++also dumps all the deleted neighbours.
++
++.SH ip route - routing table management
++Manipulate route entries in the kernel routing tables keep
++information about paths to other networked nodes.
++.sp
++.B Route types:
++
++.in +8
++.B unicast
++- the route entry describes real paths to the destinations covered
++by the route prefix.
++
++.sp
++.B unreachable
++- these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are discarded and the
++ICMP message
++.I host unreachable
++is generated.
++The local senders get an
++.I EHOSTUNREACH
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B blackhole
++- these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are discarded silently.
++The local senders get an
++.I EINVAL
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B prohibit
++- these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are discarded and the
++ICMP message
++.I communication administratively prohibited
++is generated.  The local senders get an
++.I EACCES
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B local
++- the destinations are assigned to this host.  The packets are looped
++back and delivered locally.
++
++.sp
++.B broadcast
++- the destinations are broadcast addresses.  The packets are sent as
++link broadcasts.
++
++.sp
++.B throw
++- a special control route used together with policy rules. If such a
++route is selected, lookup in this table is terminated pretending that
++no route was found.  Without policy routing it is equivalent to the
++absence of the route in the routing table.  The packets are dropped
++and the ICMP message
++.I net unreachable
++is generated.  The local senders get an
++.I ENETUNREACH
++error.
++
++.sp
++.B nat
++- a special NAT route.  Destinations covered by the prefix
++are considered to be dummy (or external) addresses which require translation
++to real (or internal) ones before forwarding.  The addresses to translate to
++are selected with the attribute
++.BR "via" .
++
++.sp
++.B anycast
++.RI "- " "not implemented"
++the destinations are
++.I anycast
++addresses assigned to this host.  They are mainly equivalent
++to
++.B local
++with one difference: such addresses are invalid when used
++as the source address of any packet.
++
++.sp
++.B multicast
++- a special type used for multicast routing.  It is not present in
++normal routing tables.
++.in -8
++
++.P
++.B Route tables:
++Linux-2.x can pack routes into several routing
++tables identified by a number in the range from 1 to 255 or by
++name from the file
++.B /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
++. By default all normal routes are inserted into the
++.B main
++table (ID 254) and the kernel only uses this table when calculating routes.
++
++.sp
++Actually, one other table always exists, which is invisible but
++even more important.  It is the
++.B local
++table (ID 255).  This table
++consists of routes for local and broadcast addresses.  The kernel maintains
++this table automatically and the administrator usually need not modify it
++or even look at it.
++
++The multiple routing tables enter the game when
++.I policy routing
++is used.
++
++.SS ip route add - add new route
++.SS ip route change - change route
++.SS ip route replace - change or add new one
++
++.TP
++.BI to " TYPE PREFIX " (default)
++the destination prefix of the route.  If
++.I TYPE
++is omitted,

++assumes type
++.BR "unicast" .
++Other values of
++.I TYPE
++are listed above.
++.I PREFIX
++is an IP or IPv6 address optionally followed by a slash and the
++prefix length.  If the length of the prefix is missing,
++.B ip
++assumes a full-length host route.  There is also a special
++.I PREFIX
++.B default
++- which is equivalent to IP
++.B 0/0
++or to IPv6
++.BR "::/0" .
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++the Type Of Service (TOS) key.  This key has no associated mask and
++the longest match is understood as: First, compare the TOS
++of the route and of the packet.  If they are not equal, then the packet
++may still match a route with a zero TOS.
++.I TOS
++is either an 8 bit hexadecimal number or an identifier
++from
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_dsfield" .
++
++.TP
++.BI metric " NUMBER"
++.TP
++.BI preference " NUMBER"
++the preference value of the route.
++.I NUMBER
++is an arbitrary 32bit number.
++
++.TP
++.BI table " TABLEID"
++the table to add this route to.
++.I TABLEID
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_tables" .
++If this parameter is omitted,
++.B ip
++assumes the
++.B main
++table, with the exception of
++.BR local " , " broadcast " and " nat
++routes, which are put into the
++.B local
++table by default.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the output device name.
++
++.TP
++.BI via " ADDRESS"
++the address of the nexthop router.  Actually, the sense of this field
++depends on the route type.  For normal
++.B unicast
++routes it is either the true next hop router or, if it is a direct
++route installed in BSD compatibility mode, it can be a local address
++of the interface.  For NAT routes it is the first address of the block
++of translated IP destinations.
++
++.TP
++.BI src " ADDRESS"
++the source address to prefer when sending to the destinations
++covered by the route prefix.
++
++.TP
++.BI realm " REALMID"
++the realm to which this route is assigned.
++.I REALMID
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_realms" .
++
++.TP
++.BI mtu " MTU"
++.TP
++.BI "mtu lock" " MTU"
++the MTU along the path to the destination.  If the modifier
++.B lock
++is not used, the MTU may be updated by the kernel due to
++Path MTU Discovery.  If the modifier
++.B lock
++is used, no path MTU discovery will be tried, all packets
++will be sent without the DF bit in IPv4 case or fragmented
++to MTU for IPv6.
++
++.TP
++.BI window " NUMBER"
++the maximal window for TCP to advertise to these destinations,
++measured in bytes.  It limits maximal data bursts that our TCP
++peers are allowed to send to us.
++
++.TP
++.BI rtt " NUMBER"
++the initial RTT ('Round Trip Time') estimate.
++
++.TP
++.BI rttvar " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++the initial RTT variance estimate.
++
++.TP
++.BI ssthresh " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++an estimate for the initial slow start threshold.
++
++.TP
++.BI cwnd " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++the clamp for congestion window.  It is ignored if the
++.B lock
++flag is not used.
++
++.TP
++.BI advmss " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++the MSS ('Maximal Segment Size') to advertise to these
++destinations when establishing TCP connections.  If it is not given,
++Linux uses a default value calculated from the first hop device MTU.
++(If the path to these destination is asymmetric, this guess may be wrong.)
++
++.TP
++.BI reordering " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
++Maximal reordering on the path to this destination.
++If it is not given, Linux uses the value selected with
++.B sysctl
++variable
++.BR "net/ipv4/tcp_reordering" .
++
++.TP
++.BI nexthop " NEXTHOP"
++the nexthop of a multipath route.
++.I NEXTHOP
++is a complex value with its own syntax similar to the top level
++argument lists:
++
++.in +8
++.BI via " ADDRESS"
++- is the nexthop router.
++.sp
++
++.BI dev " NAME"
++- is the output device.
++.sp
++
++.BI weight " NUMBER"
++- is a weight for this element of a multipath
++route reflecting its relative bandwidth or quality.
++.in -8
++
++.TP
++.BI scope " SCOPE_VAL"
++the scope of the destinations covered by the route prefix.
++.I SCOPE_VAL
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_scopes" .
++If this parameter is omitted,
++.B ip
++assumes scope
++.B global
++for all gatewayed
++.B unicast
++routes, scope
++.B link
++for direct
++.BR unicast " and " broadcast
++routes and scope
++.BR host " for " local
++routes.
++
++.TP
++.BI protocol " RTPROTO"
++the routing protocol identifier of this route.
++.I RTPROTO
++may be a number or a string from the file
++.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_protos" .
++If the routing protocol ID is not given,
++.B ip assumes protocol
++.B boot
++(i.e. it assumes the route was added by someone who doesn't
++understand what they are doing).  Several protocol values have
++a fixed interpretation.
++Namely:
++
++.in +8
++.B redirect
++- the route was installed due to an ICMP redirect.
++.sp
++
++.B kernel
++- the route was installed by the kernel during autoconfiguration.
++.sp
++
++.B boot
++- the route was installed during the bootup sequence.
++If a routing daemon starts, it will purge all of them.
++.sp
++
++.B static
++- the route was installed by the administrator
++to override dynamic routing. Routing daemon will respect them
++and, probably, even advertise them to its peers.
++.sp
++
++.B ra
++- the route was installed by Router Discovery protocol.
++.in -8
++
++.sp
++The rest of the values are not reserved and the administrator is free
++to assign (or not to assign) protocol tags.
++
++.TP
++.B onlink
++pretend that the nexthop is directly attached to this link,
++even if it does not match any interface prefix.
++
++.TP
++.B equalize
++allow packet by packet randomization on multipath routes.
++Without this modifier, the route will be frozen to one selected
++nexthop, so that load splitting will only occur on per-flow base.
++.B equalize
++only works if the kernel is patched.
++
++.SS ip route delete - delete route
++
++.B ip route del
++has the same arguments as
++.BR "ip route add" ,
++but their semantics are a bit different.
++
++Key values
++.RB "(" to ", " tos ", " preference " and " table ")"
++select the route to delete.  If optional attributes are present,
++.B ip
++verifies that they coincide with the attributes of the route to delete.
++If no route with the given key and attributes was found,
++.B ip route del
++fails.
++
++.SS ip route show - list routes
++the command displays the contents of the routing tables or the route(s)
++selected by some criteria.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " SELECTOR " (default)
++only select routes from the given range of destinations.
++.I SELECTOR
++consists of an optional modifier
++.RB "(" root ", " match " or " exact ")"
++and a prefix.
++.BI root " PREFIX"
++selects routes with prefixes not shorter than
++.IR PREFIX "."
++F.e.
++.BI root " 0/0"
++selects the entire routing table.
++.BI match " PREFIX"
++selects routes with prefixes not longer than
++.IR PREFIX "."
++F.e.
++.BI match " 10.0/16"
++selects
++.IR 10.0/16 ","
++.IR 10/8 " and " 0/0 ,
++but it does not select
++.IR 10.1/16 " and " 10.0.0/24 .
++And
++.BI exact " PREFIX"
++(or just
++.IR PREFIX ")"
++selects routes with this exact prefix. If neither of these options
++are present,
++.B ip
++assumes
++.BI root " 0/0"
++i.e. it lists the entire table.
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++only select routes with the given TOS.
++
++.TP
++.BI table " TABLEID"
++show the routes from this table(s).  The default setting is to show
++.BR table main "."
++.I TABLEID
++may either be the ID of a real table or one of the special values:
++.sp
++.in +8
++.B all
++- list all of the tables.
++.sp
++.B cache
++- dump the routing cache.
++.in -8
++
++.TP
++.B cloned
++.TP
++.B cached
++list cloned routes i.e. routes which were dynamically forked from
++other routes because some route attribute (f.e. MTU) was updated.
++Actually, it is equivalent to
++.BR "table cache" "."
++
++.TP
++.BI from " SELECTOR"
++the same syntax as for
++.BR to ","
++but it binds the source address range rather than destinations.
++Note that the
++.B from
++option only works with cloned routes.
++
++.TP
++.BI protocol " RTPROTO"
++only list routes of this protocol.
++
++.TP
++.BI scope " SCOPE_VAL"
++only list routes with this scope.
++
++.TP
++.BI type " TYPE"
++only list routes of this type.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++only list routes going via this device.
++
++.TP
++.BI via " PREFIX"
++only list routes going via the nexthop routers selected by
++.IR PREFIX "."
++
++.TP
++.BI src " PREFIX"
++only list routes with preferred source addresses selected
++by
++.IR PREFIX "."
++
++.TP
++.BI realm " REALMID"
++.TP
++.BI realms " FROMREALM/TOREALM"
++only list routes with these realms.
++
++.SS ip route flush - flush routing tables
++this command flushes routes selected by some criteria.
++
++.sp
++The arguments have the same syntax and semantics as the arguments of
++.BR "ip route show" ,
++but routing tables are not listed but purged.  The only difference is
++the default action:
++.B show
++dumps all the IP main routing table but
++.B flush
++prints the helper page.
++
++.sp
++With the
++.B -statistics
++option, the command becomes verbose. It prints out the number of
++deleted routes and the number of rounds made to flush the routing
++table. If the option is given
++twice,
++.B ip route flush
++also dumps all the deleted routes in the format described in the
++previous subsection.
++
++.SS ip route get - get a single route
++this command gets a single route to a destination and prints its
++contents exactly as the kernel sees it.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " ADDRESS " (default)
++the destination address.
++
++.TP
++.BI from " ADDRESS"
++the source address.
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++the Type Of Service.
++
++.TP
++.BI iif " NAME"
++the device from which this packet is expected to arrive.
++
++.TP
++.BI oif " NAME"
++force the output device on which this packet will be routed.
++
++.TP
++.B connected
++if no source address 
++.RB "(option " from ")"
++was given, relookup the route with the source set to the preferred
++address received from the first lookup.
++If policy routing is used, it may be a different route.
++
++.P
++Note that this operation is not equivalent to
++.BR "ip route show" .
++.B show
++shows existing routes.
++.B get
++resolves them and creates new clones if necessary.  Essentially,
++.B get
++is equivalent to sending a packet along this path.
++If the
++.B iif
++argument is not given, the kernel creates a route
++to output packets towards the requested destination.
++This is equivalent to pinging the destination
++with a subsequent
++.BR "ip route ls cache" ,
++however, no packets are actually sent.  With the
++.B iif
++argument, the kernel pretends that a packet arrived from this interface
++and searches for a path to forward the packet.
++
++.SH ip rule - routing policy database management
++
++.BR "Rule" s
++in the routing policy database control the route selection algorithm.
++
++.P
++Classic routing algorithms used in the Internet make routing decisions
++based only on the destination address of packets (and in theory,
++but not in practice, on the TOS field).
++
++.P
++In some circumstances we want to route packets differently depending not only
++on destination addresses, but also on other packet fields: source address,
++IP protocol, transport protocol ports or even packet payload.
++This task is called 'policy routing'.
++
++.P
++To solve this task, the conventional destination based routing table, ordered
++according to the longest match rule, is replaced with a 'routing policy
++database' (or RPDB), which selects routes by executing some set of rules.
++
++.P
++Each policy routing rule consists of a
++.B selector
++and an
++.B action predicate.
++The RPDB is scanned in the order of increasing priority. The selector
++of each rule is applied to {source address, destination address, incoming
++interface, tos, fwmark} and, if the selector matches the packet,
++the action is performed.  The action predicate may return with success.
++In this case, it will either give a route or failure indication
++and the RPDB lookup is terminated. Otherwise, the RPDB program
++continues on the next rule.
++
++.P
++Semantically, natural action is to select the nexthop and the output device.
++
++.P
++At startup time the kernel configures the default RPDB consisting of three
++rules:
++
++.TP
++1.
++Priority: 0, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
++table
++.B local
++(ID 255).
++The
++.B local
++table is a special routing table containing
++high priority control routes for local and broadcast addresses.
++.sp
++Rule 0 is special. It cannot be deleted or overridden.
++
++.TP
++2.
++Priority: 32766, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
++table
++.B main
++(ID 254).
++The
++.B main
++table is the normal routing table containing all non-policy
++routes. This rule may be deleted and/or overridden with other
++ones by the administrator.
++
++.TP
++3.
++Priority: 32767, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
++table
++.B default
++(ID 253).
++The
++.B default
++table is empty.  It is reserved for some post-processing if no previous
++default rules selected the packet.
++This rule may also be deleted.
++
++.P
++Each RPDB entry has additional
++attributes.  F.e. each rule has a pointer to some routing
++table.  NAT and masquerading rules have an attribute to select new IP
++address to translate/masquerade.  Besides that, rules have some
++optional attributes, which routes have, namely
++.BR "realms" .
++These values do not override those contained in the routing tables.  They
++are only used if the route did not select any attributes.
++
++.sp
++The RPDB may contain rules of the following types:
++
++.in +8
++.B unicast
++- the rule prescribes to return the route found
++in the routing table referenced by the rule.
++
++.B blackhole
++- the rule prescribes to silently drop the packet.
++
++.B unreachable
++- the rule prescribes to generate a 'Network is unreachable' error.
++
++.B prohibit
++- the rule prescribes to generate 'Communication is administratively
++prohibited' error.
++
++.B nat
++- the rule prescribes to translate the source address
++of the IP packet into some other value.
++.in -8
++
++.SS ip rule add - insert a new rule
++.SS ip rule delete - delete a rule
++
++.TP
++.BI type " TYPE " (default)
++the type of this rule.  The list of valid types was given in the previous
++subsection.
++
++.TP
++.BI from " PREFIX"
++select the source prefix to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI to " PREFIX"
++select the destination prefix to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI iif " NAME"
++select the incoming device to match.  If the interface is loopback,
++the rule only matches packets originating from this host.  This means
++that you may create separate routing tables for forwarded and local
++packets and, hence, completely segregate them.
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " TOS"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " TOS"
++select the TOS value to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI fwmark " MARK"
++select the
++.B fwmark
++value to match.
++
++.TP
++.BI priority " PREFERENCE"
++the priority of this rule.  Each rule should have an explicitly
++set
++.I unique
++priority value.
++
++.TP
++.BI table " TABLEID"
++the routing table identifier to lookup if the rule selector matches.
++
++.TP
++.BI realms " FROM/TO"
++Realms to select if the rule matched and the routing table lookup
++succeeded.  Realm 
++.I TO
++is only used if the route did not select any realm.
++
++.TP
++.BI nat " ADDRESS"
++The base of the IP address block to translate (for source addresses).
++The 
++.I ADDRESS
++may be either the start of the block of NAT addresses (selected by NAT
++routes) or a local host address (or even zero).
++In the last case the router does not translate the packets, but
++masquerades them to this address.
++
++.B Warning:
++Changes to the RPDB made with these commands do not become active
++immediately.  It is assumed that after a script finishes a batch of
++updates, it flushes the routing cache with
++.BR "ip route flush cache" .
++
++.SS ip rule show - list rules
++This command has no arguments.
++
++.SH ip maddress - multicast addresses management
++
++.B maddress
++objects are multicast addresses.
++
++.SS ip maddress show - list multicast addresses
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME " (default)
++the device name.
++
++.SS ip maddress add - add a multicast address
++.SS ip maddress delete - delete a multicast address
++these commands attach/detach a static link layer multicast address
++to listen on the interface.
++Note that it is impossible to join protocol multicast groups
++statically.  This command only manages link layer addresses.
++
++.TP
++.BI address " LLADDRESS " (default)
++the link layer multicast address.
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME"
++the device to join/leave this multicast address.
++
++.SH ip mroute - multicast routing cache management
++.B mroute
++objects are multicast routing cache entries created by a user level
++mrouting daemon (f.e.
++.B pimd
++or
++.B mrouted
++).
++
++Due to the limitations of the current interface to the multicast routing
++engine, it is impossible to change
++.B mroute
++objects administratively, so we may only display them.  This limitation
++will be removed in the future.
++
++.SS ip mroute show - list mroute cache entries
++
++.TP
++.BI to " PREFIX " (default)
++the prefix selecting the destination multicast addresses to list.
++
++.TP
++.BI iif " NAME"
++the interface on which multicast packets are received.
++
++.TP
++.BI from " PREFIX"
++the prefix selecting the IP source addresses of the multicast route.
++
++.SH ip tunnel - tunnel configuration
++.B tunnel
++objects are tunnels, encapsulating packets in IPv4 packets and then
++sending them over the IP infrastructure.
++
++.SS ip tunnel add - add a new tunnel
++.SS ip tunnel change - change an existing tunnel
++.SS ip tunnel delete - destroy a tunnel
++
++.TP
++.BI name " NAME " (default)
++select the tunnel device name.
++
++.TP
++.BI mode " MODE"
++set the tunnel mode.  Three modes are currently available:
++.BR ipip ", " sit " and " gre "."
++
++.TP
++.BI remote " ADDRESS"
++set the remote endpoint of the tunnel.
++
++.TP
++.BI local " ADDRESS"
++set the fixed local address for tunneled packets.
++It must be an address on another interface of this host.
++
++.TP
++.BI ttl " N"
++set a fixed TTL 
++.I N
++on tunneled packets.
++.I N
++is a number in the range 1--255. 0 is a special value
++meaning that packets inherit the TTL value. 
++The default value is:
++.BR "inherit" .
++
++.TP
++.BI tos " T"
++.TP
++.BI dsfield " T"
++set a fixed TOS
++.I T
++on tunneled packets.
++The default value is:
++.BR "inherit" .
++
++.TP
++.BI dev " NAME" 
++bind the tunnel to the device
++.I NAME
++so that tunneled packets will only be routed via this device and will
++not be able to escape to another device when the route to endpoint
++changes.
++
++.TP
++.B nopmtudisc
++disable Path MTU Discovery on this tunnel.
++It is enabled by default.  Note that a fixed ttl is incompatible
++with this option: tunnelling with a fixed ttl always makes pmtu
++discovery.
++
++.TP
++.BI key " K"
++.TP
++.BI ikey " K"
++.TP
++.BI okey " K"
++.RB ( " only GRE tunnels " )

++parameters set different keys for input and output.
++

++.BR csum ", " icsum ", " ocsum
++.RB ( " only GRE tunnels " )
++generate/require checksums for tunneled packets.
++The 
++.B ocsum
++flag calculates checksums for outgoing packets.
++The
++.B icsum
++flag requires that all input packets have the correct
++checksum.  The
++.B csum
++flag is equivalent to the combination
++.BR "icsum ocsum" .
++
++.TP
++.BR seq ", " iseq ", " oseq
++.RB ( " only GRE tunnels " )
++serialize packets.
++The
++.B oseq
++flag enables sequencing of outgoing packets.
++The

++flag requires that all input packets are serialized.
++The

++flag is equivalent to the combination 
++.BR "iseq oseq" .
++.B It isn't work. Don't use it.
++
++.SS ip tunnel show - list tunnels
++This command has no arguments.
++
++.SH ip monitor and rtmon - state monitoring
++
++The
++.B ip
++utility can monitor the state of devices, addresses
++and routes continuously.  This option has a slightly different format.
++Namely, the
++.B monitor
++command is the first in the command line and then the object list follows:
++
++.BR "ip monitor" " [ " all " |"
++.IR LISTofOBJECTS " ]"
++
++.I OBJECT-LIST
++is the list of object types that we want to monitor.
++It may contain
++.BR link ", " address " and " route "."
++If no
++.B file
++argument is given,
++.B ip
++opens RTNETLINK, listens on it and dumps state changes in the format
++described in previous sections.
++
++.P
++If a file name is given, it does not listen on RTNETLINK,
++but opens the file containing RTNETLINK messages saved in binary format
++and dumps them.  Such a history file can be generated with the
++.B rtmon
++utility.  This utility has a command line syntax similar to
++.BR "ip monitor" .
++Ideally,
++.B rtmon
++should be started before the first network configuration command
++is issued. F.e. if you insert:
++.sp
++.in +8
++rtmon file /var/log/rtmon.log
++.in -8
++.sp
++in a startup script, you will be able to view the full history
++later.
++
++.P
++Certainly, it is possible to start
++.B rtmon
++at any time.
++It prepends the history with the state snapshot dumped at the moment
++of starting.

++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Class Based Queueing is a classful qdisc that implements a rich
++linksharing hierarchy of classes.  It contains shaping elements as
++well as prioritizing capabilities.  Shaping is performed using link
++idle time calculations based on the timing of dequeue events and 
++underlying link bandwidth.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++Shaping is done using link idle time calculations, and actions taken if
++these calculations deviate from set limits.
++
++When shaping a 10mbit/s connection to 1mbit/s, the link will
++be idle 90% of the time. If it isn't, it needs to be throttled so that it
++IS idle 90% of the time.
++
++From the kernel's perspective, this is hard to measure, so CBQ instead 
++derives the idle time from the number of microseconds (in fact, jiffies) 
++that elapse between  requests from the device driver for more data. Combined 
++with the  knowledge of packet sizes, this is used to approximate how full or 
++empty the link is.
++
++This is rather circumspect and doesn't always arrive at proper
++results. For example, what is the actual link speed of an interface
++that is not really able to transmit the full 100mbit/s of data,
++perhaps because of a badly implemented driver? A PCMCIA network card
++will also never achieve 100mbit/s because of the way the bus is
++designed - again, how do we calculate the idle time?
++
++The physical link bandwidth may be ill defined in case of not-quite-real 
++network devices like PPP over Ethernet or PPTP over TCP/IP. The effective 
++bandwidth in that case is probably determined by the efficiency of pipes 
++to userspace - which not defined.
++
++During operations, the effective idletime is measured using an
++exponential weighted moving average (EWMA), which considers recent
++packets to be exponentially more important than past ones. The Unix
++loadaverage is calculated in the same way.
++
++The calculated idle time is subtracted from the EWMA measured one,
++the resulting number is called 'avgidle'. A perfectly loaded link has
++an avgidle of zero: packets arrive exactly at the calculated
++interval.
++
++An overloaded link has a negative avgidle and if it gets too negative,
++CBQ throttles and is then 'overlimit'.
++
++Conversely, an idle link might amass a huge avgidle, which would then
++allow infinite bandwidths after a few hours of silence. To prevent
++this, avgidle is capped at 
++.B maxidle.
++
++If overlimit, in theory, the CBQ could throttle itself for exactly the
++amount of time that was calculated to pass between packets, and then
++pass one packet, and throttle again. Due to timer resolution constraints,
++this may not be feasible, see the 
++.B minburst
++parameter below.
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one CBQ instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, CBQ starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. If a verdict is reached, this
++process is repeated for the recipient class which might have further
++means of classifying traffic to its children, if any.
++
++CBQ has the following methods available to classify a packet to any child 
++classes.
++.TP
++(i)
++.B skb->priority class encoding.
++Can be set from userspace by an application with the 
++.B SO_PRIORITY
++setsockopt.
++The 
++.B skb->priority class encoding
++only applies if the skb->priority holds a major:minor handle of an existing 
++class within  this qdisc.
++.TP
++(ii)
++tc filters attached to the class.
++.TP
++(iii)
++The defmap of a class, as set with the 
++.B split & defmap
++parameters. The defmap may contain instructions for each possible Linux packet
++priority.
++
++.P
++Each class also has a 
++.B level.
++Leaf nodes, attached to the bottom of the class hierarchy, have a level of 0.
++.SH CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHM
++
++Classification is a loop, which terminates when a leaf class is found. At any 
++point the loop may jump to the fallback algorithm.
++
++The loop consists of the following steps:
++.TP 
++(i)
++If the packet is generated locally and has a valid classid encoded within its
++.B skb->priority,
++choose it and terminate.
++
++.TP
++(ii)
++Consult the tc filters, if any, attached to this child. If these return
++a class which is not a leaf class, restart loop from the class returned.
++If it is a leaf, choose it and terminate.
++.TP
++(iii)
++If the tc filters did not return a class, but did return a classid, 
++try to find a class with that id within this qdisc. 
++Check if the found class is of a lower
++.B level
++than the current class. If so, and the returned class is not a leaf node,
++restart the loop at the found class. If it is a leaf node, terminate.
++If we found an upward reference to a higher level, enter the fallback 
++algorithm.
++.TP
++(iv)
++If the tc filters did not return a class, nor a valid reference to one,
++consider the minor number of the reference to be the priority. Retrieve
++a class from the defmap of this class for the priority. If this did not
++contain a class, consult the defmap of this class for the 
++.B BEST_EFFORT
++class. If this is an upward reference, or no 
++.B BEST_EFFORT 
++class was defined,
++enter the fallback algorithm. If a valid class was found, and it is not a
++leaf node, restart the loop at this class. If it is a leaf, choose it and 
++terminate. If
++neither the priority distilled from the classid, nor the 
++.B BEST_EFFORT 
++priority yielded a class, enter the fallback algorithm.
++.P
++The fallback algorithm resides outside of the loop and is as follows.
++.TP
++(i)
++Consult the defmap of the class at which the jump to fallback occured. If 
++the defmap contains a class for the 
++.B
++priority
++of the class (which is related to the TOS field), choose this class and 
++terminate. 
++.TP
++(ii)
++Consult the map for a class for the
++.B BEST_EFFORT
++priority. If found, choose it, and terminate.
++.TP
++(iii)
++Choose the class at which break out to the fallback algorithm occured. Terminate.
++.P
++The packet is enqueued to the class which was chosen when either algorithm 
++terminated. It is therefore possible for a packet to be enqueued *not* at a
++leaf node, but in the middle of the hierarchy.
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++When dequeuing for sending to the network device, CBQ decides which of its 
++classes will be allowed to send. It does so with a Weighted Round Robin process
++in which each class with packets gets a chance to send in turn. The WRR process
++starts by asking the highest priority classes (lowest numerically - 
++highest semantically) for packets, and will continue to do so until they
++have no more data to offer, in which case the process repeats for lower 
++priorities.
++
++.B CERTAINTY ENDS HERE, ANK PLEASE HELP
++
++Each class is not allowed to send at length though - they can only dequeue a
++configurable amount of data during each round. 
++
++If a class is about to go overlimit, and it is not
++.B bounded
++it will try to borrow avgidle from siblings that are not
++.B isolated. 
++This process is repeated from the bottom upwards. If a class is unable
++to borrow enough avgidle to send a packet, it is throttled and not asked
++for a packet for enough time for the avgidle to increase above zero.
++
++.B I REALLY NEED HELP FIGURING THIS OUT. REST OF DOCUMENT IS PRETTY CERTAIN
++.B AGAIN.
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root qdisc of a CBQ class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the CBQ instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP
++handle major:
++Like all other qdiscs, the CBQ can be assigned a handle. Should consist only
++of a major number, followed by a colon. Optional.
++.TP
++avpkt bytes
++For calculations, the average packet size must be known. It is silently capped
++at a minimum of 2/3 of the interface MTU. Mandatory.
++.TP
++bandwidth rate
++To determine the idle time, CBQ must know the bandwidth of your underlying 
++physical interface, or parent qdisc. This is a vital parameter, more about it
++later. Mandatory.
++.TP
++cell
++The cell size determines he granularity of packet transmission time calculations. Has a sensible default.
++.TP 
++mpu
++A zero sized packet may still take time to transmit. This value is the lower
++cap for packet transmission time calculations - packets smaller than this value
++are still deemed to have this size. Defaults to zero.
++.TP
++ewma log
++When CBQ needs to measure the average idle time, it does so using an 
++Exponentially Weighted Moving Average which smoothes out measurements into
++a moving average. The EWMA LOG determines how much smoothing occurs. Defaults 
++to 5. Lower values imply greater sensitivity. Must be between 0 and 31.
++.P
++A CBQ qdisc does not shape out of its own accord. It only needs to know certain
++parameters about the underlying link. Actual shaping is done in classes.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Classes have a host of parameters to configure their operation.
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor
++Place of this class within the hierarchy. If attached directly to a qdisc 
++and not to another class, minor can be omitted. Mandatory.
++.TP 
++classid major:minor
++Like qdiscs, classes can be named. The major number must be equal to the
++major number of the qdisc to which it belongs. Optional, but needed if this 
++class is going to have children.
++.TP 
++weight weight
++When dequeuing to the interface, classes are tried for traffic in a 
++round-robin fashion. Classes with a higher configured qdisc will generally
++have more traffic to offer during each round, so it makes sense to allow
++it to dequeue more traffic. All weights under a class are normalized, so
++only the ratios matter. Defaults to the configured rate, unless the priority 
++of this class is maximal, in which case it is set to 1.
++.TP 
++allot bytes
++Allot specifies how many bytes a qdisc can dequeue
++during each round of the process. This parameter is weighted using the 
++renormalized class weight described above.
++
++.TP 
++priority priority
++In the round-robin process, classes with the lowest priority field are tried 
++for packets first. Mandatory.
++
++.TP 
++rate rate
++Maximum rate this class and all its children combined can send at. Mandatory.
++
++.TP
++bandwidth rate
++This is different from the bandwidth specified when creating a CBQ disc. Only
++used to determine maxidle and offtime, which are only calculated when
++specifying maxburst or minburst. Mandatory if specifying maxburst or minburst.
++
++.TP 
++maxburst
++This number of packets is used to calculate maxidle so that when
++avgidle is at maxidle, this number of average packets can be burst
++before avgidle drops to 0. Set it higher to be more tolerant of
++bursts. You can't set maxidle directly, only via this parameter.
++
++.TP
++minburst 
++As mentioned before, CBQ needs to throttle in case of
++overlimit. The ideal solution is to do so for exactly the calculated
++idle time, and pass 1 packet. However, Unix kernels generally have a
++hard time scheduling events shorter than 10ms, so it is better to
++throttle for a longer period, and then pass minburst packets in one
++go, and then sleep minburst times longer.
++
++The time to wait is called the offtime. Higher values of minburst lead
++to more accurate shaping in the long term, but to bigger bursts at
++millisecond timescales.
++
++.TP
++minidle
++If avgidle is below 0, we are overlimits and need to wait until
++avgidle will be big enough to send one packet. To prevent a sudden
++burst from shutting down the link for a prolonged period of time,
++avgidle is reset to minidle if it gets too low.
++
++Minidle is specified in negative microseconds, so 10 means that
++avgidle is capped at -10us.
++
++.TP
++bounded 
++Signifies that this class will not borrow bandwidth from its siblings.
++.TP 
++isolated
++Means that this class will not borrow bandwidth to its siblings
++
++.TP 
++split major:minor & defmap bitmap[/bitmap]
++If consulting filters attached to a class did not give a verdict, 
++CBQ can also classify based on the packet's priority. There are 16
++priorities available, numbered from 0 to 15. 
++
++The defmap specifies which priorities this class wants to receive, 
++specified as a bitmap. The Least Significant Bit corresponds to priority 
++zero. The 
++.B split
++parameter tells CBQ at which class the decision must be made, which should
++be a (grand)parent of the class you are adding.
++
++As an example, 'tc class add ... classid 10:1 cbq .. split 10:0 defmap c0'
++configures class 10:0 to send packets with priorities 6 and 7 to 10:1.
++
++The complimentary configuration would then 
++be: 'tc class add ... classid 10:2 cbq ... split 10:0 defmap 3f'
++Which would send all packets 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to 10:1.
++.TP
++estimator interval timeconstant
++CBQ can measure how much bandwidth each class is using, which tc filters
++can use to classify packets with. In order to determine the bandwidth
++it uses a very simple estimator that measures once every
++.B interval
++microseconds how much traffic has passed. This again is a EWMA, for which
++the time constant can be specified, also in microseconds. The 
++.B time constant
++corresponds to the sluggishness of the measurement or, conversely, to the 
++sensitivity of the average to short bursts. Higher values mean less
++sensitivity.

++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Class Based Queueing is a classful qdisc that implements a rich
++linksharing hierarchy of classes.  It contains shaping elements as
++well as prioritizing capabilities.  Shaping is performed using link
++idle time calculations based on the timing of dequeue events and 
++underlying link bandwidth.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++When shaping a 10mbit/s connection to 1mbit/s, the link will
++be idle 90% of the time. If it isn't, it needs to be throttled so that it
++IS idle 90% of the time.
++
++During operations, the effective idletime is measured using an
++exponential weighted moving average (EWMA), which considers recent
++packets to be exponentially more important than past ones. The Unix
++loadaverage is calculated in the same way.
++
++The calculated idle time is subtracted from the EWMA measured one,
++the resulting number is called 'avgidle'. A perfectly loaded link has
++an avgidle of zero: packets arrive exactly at the calculated
++interval.
++
++An overloaded link has a negative avgidle and if it gets too negative,
++CBQ throttles and is then 'overlimit'.
++
++Conversely, an idle link might amass a huge avgidle, which would then
++allow infinite bandwidths after a few hours of silence. To prevent
++this, avgidle is capped at 
++.B maxidle.
++
++If overlimit, in theory, the CBQ could throttle itself for exactly the
++amount of time that was calculated to pass between packets, and then
++pass one packet, and throttle again. Due to timer resolution constraints,
++this may not be feasible, see the 
++.B minburst
++parameter below.
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one CBQ instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, CBQ starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. 
++
++In the absence of uncommon configuration options, the process is rather easy. 
++At each node we look for an instruction, and then go to the class the 
++instruction refers us to. If the class found is a barren leaf-node (without 
++children), we enqueue the packet there. If it is not yet a leaf node, we do 
++the whole thing over again starting from that node. 
++
++The following actions are performed, in order at each node we visit, until one 
++sends us to another node, or terminates the process.
++.TP
++(i)
++Consult filters attached to the class. If sent to a leafnode, we are done. 
++Otherwise, restart.
++.TP
++(ii)
++Consult the defmap for the priority assigned to this packet, which depends 
++on the TOS bits. Check if the referral is leafless, otherwise restart.
++.TP
++(iii)
++Ask the defmap for instructions for the 'best effort' priority. Check the 
++answer for leafness, otherwise restart.
++.TP
++(iv)
++If none of the above returned with an instruction, enqueue at this node.
++.P
++This algorithm makes sure that a packet always ends up somewhere, even while
++you are busy building your configuration. 
++
++For more details, see
++.BR tc-cbq-details(8).
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++When dequeuing for sending to the network device, CBQ decides which of its 
++classes will be allowed to send. It does so with a Weighted Round Robin process
++in which each class with packets gets a chance to send in turn. The WRR process
++starts by asking the highest priority classes (lowest numerically - 
++highest semantically) for packets, and will continue to do so until they
++have no more data to offer, in which case the process repeats for lower 
++priorities.
++
++Classes by default borrow bandwidth from their siblings. A class can be 
++prevented from doing so by declaring it 'bounded'. A class can also indicate 
++its unwillingness to lend out bandwidth by being 'isolated'.
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root of a CBQ qdisc class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the CBQ instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP
++handle major:
++Like all other qdiscs, the CBQ can be assigned a handle. Should consist only
++of a major number, followed by a colon. Optional, but very useful if classes
++will be generated within this qdisc.
++.TP 
++allot bytes
++This allotment is the 'chunkiness' of link sharing and is used for determining packet
++transmission time tables. The qdisc allot differs slightly from the class allot discussed
++below. Optional. Defaults to a reasonable value, related to avpkt.
++.TP
++avpkt bytes
++The average size of a packet is needed for calculating maxidle, and is also used
++for making sure 'allot' has a safe value. Mandatory.
++.TP

++To determine the idle time, CBQ must know the bandwidth of your underlying 
++physical interface, or parent qdisc. This is a vital parameter, more about it

++
++.SH BUGS
++The actual bandwidth of the underlying link may not be known, for example 
++in the case of PPoE or PPTP connections which in fact may send over a 
++pipe, instead of over a physical device. CBQ is quite resilient to major
++errors in the configured bandwidth, probably a the cost of coarser shaping.
++
++Default kernels rely on coarse timing information for making decisions. These 
++may make shaping precise in the long term, but inaccurate on second long scales.
++
++See 
++.BR tc-cbq-details(8)
++for hints on how to improve this.

++.TH HTB 8 "10 January 2002" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++HTB \- Hierarchy Token Bucket
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... dev
++dev
++.B  ( parent
++classid 
++.B | root) [ handle 
++major: 
++.B ] htb [ default 
++minor-id

++.B [ cburst

++.B ] [ prio
++priority
++.B ] 
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++HTB is meant as a more understandable and intuitive replacement for
++the CBQ qdisc in Linux. Both CBQ and HTB help you to control the use
++of the outbound bandwidth on a given link. Both allow you to use one
++physical link to simulate several slower links and to send different
++kinds of traffic on different simulated links. In both cases, you have
++to specify how to divide the physical link into simulated links and
++how to decide which simulated link to use for a given packet to be sent. 
++
++Unlike CBQ, HTB shapes traffic based on the Token Bucket Filter algorithm 
++which does not depend on interface characteristics and so does not need to
++know the underlying bandwidth of the outgoing interface.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++Shaping works as documented in
++.B tc-tbf (8).
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one HRB instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, HTB starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. 
++
++In the absence of uncommon configuration options, the process is rather easy. 
++At each node we look for an instruction, and then go to the class the 
++instruction refers us to. If the class found is a barren leaf-node (without 
++children), we enqueue the packet there. If it is not yet a leaf node, we do 
++the whole thing over again starting from that node. 
++
++The following actions are performed, in order at each node we visit, until one 
++sends us to another node, or terminates the process.
++.TP
++(i)
++Consult filters attached to the class. If sent to a leafnode, we are done. 
++Otherwise, restart.
++.TP
++(ii)
++If none of the above returned with an instruction, enqueue at this node.
++.P
++This algorithm makes sure that a packet always ends up somewhere, even while
++you are busy building your configuration. 
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++FIXME
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root of a HTB qdisc class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the HTB instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP
++handle major:
++Like all other qdiscs, the HTB can be assigned a handle. Should consist only
++of a major number, followed by a colon. Optional, but very useful if classes
++will be generated within this qdisc.
++.TP 
++default minor-id
++Unclassified traffic gets sent to the class with this minor-id.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Classes have a host of parameters to configure their operation.
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor
++Place of this class within the hierarchy. If attached directly to a qdisc 
++and not to another class, minor can be omitted. Mandatory.
++.TP 
++classid major:minor
++Like qdiscs, classes can be named. The major number must be equal to the
++major number of the qdisc to which it belongs. Optional, but needed if this 
++class is going to have children.
++.TP 
++prio priority
++In the round-robin process, classes with the lowest priority field are tried 
++for packets first. Mandatory.
++
++.TP 
++rate rate
++Maximum rate this class and all its children are guaranteed. Mandatory.
++
++.TP
++ceil rate
++Maximum rate at which a class can send, if its parent has bandwidth to spare. 
++Defaults to the configured rate, which implies no borrowing
++
++.TP 
++burst bytes
++Amount of bytes that can be burst at 
++.B ceil
++speed, in excess of the configured
++.B rate. 
++Should be at least as high as the highest burst of all children.
++
++.TP 
++cburst bytes
++Amount of bytes that can be burst at 'infinite' speed, in other words, as fast
++as the interface can transmit them. For perfect evening out, should be equal to at most one average
++packet. Should be at least as high as the highest cburst of all children.
++
++.SH NOTES
++Due to Unix timing constraints, the maximum ceil rate is not infinite and may in fact be quite low. On Intel, 
++there are 100 timer events per second, the maximum rate is that rate at which 'burst' bytes are sent each timer tick.
++From this, the mininum burst size for a specified rate can be calculated. For i386, a 10mbit rate requires a 12 kilobyte 
++burst as 100*12kb*8 equals 10mbit.

++.TH PBFIFO 8 "10 January 2002" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++pfifo \- Packet limited First In, First Out queue
++.P
++bfifo \- Byte limited First In, First Out queue
++
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... add pfifo
++.B [ limit 
++packets
++.B ]
++.P
++.B tc qdisc ... add bfifo
++.B [ limit 
++bytes
++.B ]
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++The pfifo and bfifo qdiscs are unadorned First In, First Out queues. They are the
++simplest queues possible and therefore have no overhead. 
++.B pfifo
++constrains the queue size as measured in packets. 
++.B bfifo
++does so as measured in bytes.
++
++Like all non-default qdiscs, they maintain statistics. This might be a reason to prefer 
++pfifo or bfifo over the default.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++A list of packets is maintained, when a packet is enqueued it gets inserted at the tail of
++a list. When a packet needs to be sent out to the network, it is taken from the head of the list. 
++
++If the list is too long, no further packets are allowed on. This is called 'tail drop'.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++limit
++Maximum queue size. Specified in bytes for bfifo, in packets for pfifo. For pfifo, defaults 
++to the interface txqueuelen, as specified with 
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or
++.BR ip (8).
++
++For bfifo, it defaults to the txqueuelen multiplied by the interface MTU.
++
++.SH OUTPUT
++The output of 
++.B tc -s qdisc ls
++contains the limit, either in packets or in bytes, and the number of bytes 
++and packets actually sent. An unsent and dropped packet only appears between braces 
++and is not counted as 'Sent'.
++
++In this example, the queue length is 100 packets, 45894 bytes were sent over 681 packets. 
++No packets were dropped, and as the pfifo queue does not slow down packets, there were also no
++overlimits:
++.P
++.nf
++# tc -s qdisc ls dev eth0 
++qdisc pfifo 8001: dev eth0 limit 100p
++ Sent 45894 bytes 681 pkts (dropped 0, overlimits 0) 
++.fi
++
++If a backlog occurs, this is displayed as well.

++.TH PFIFO_FAST 8 "10 January 2002" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++pfifo_fast \- three-band first in, first out queue
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++pfifo_fast is the default qdisc of each interface.
++
++Whenever an interface is created, the pfifo_fast qdisc is automatically used
++as a queue. If another qdisc is attached, it preempts the default
++pfifo_fast, which automatically returns to function when an existing qdisc
++is detached.
++
++In this sense this qdisc is magic, and unlike other qdiscs.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++The algorithm is very similar to that of the classful 
++.BR tc-prio (8)
++qdisc. 
++.B pfifo_fast
++is like three
++.BR tc-pfifo (8)
++queues side by side, where packets can be enqueued in any of the three bands
++based on their Type of Service bits or assigned priority. 
++
++Not all three bands are dequeued simultaneously - as long as lower bands
++have traffic, higher bands are never dequeued. This can be used to
++prioritize interactive traffic or penalize 'lowest cost' traffic.
++
++Each band can be txqueuelen packets long, as configured with
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or 
++.BR ip (8).
++Additional packets coming in are not enqueued but are instead dropped.
++
++See
++.BR tc-prio (8)
++for complete details on how TOS bits are translated into bands.
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++txqueuelen
++The length of the three bands depends on the interface txqueuelen, as
++specified with
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or
++.BR ip (8).
++
++.SH BUGS
++Does not maintain statistics and does not show up in tc qdisc ls. This is because
++it is the automatic default in the absence of a configured qdisc.

++.TH PRIO 8 "16 December 2001" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++PRIO \- Priority qdisc
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... dev
++dev
++.B  ( parent
++classid 
++.B | root) [ handle 
++major: 
++.B ] prio [ bands 
++bands
++.B ] [ priomap
++band,band,band... 
++.B ] [ estimator 
++interval timeconstant
++.B ]
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++The PRIO qdisc is a simple classful queueing discipline that contains
++an arbitrary number of classes of differing priority. The classes are
++dequeued in numerical descending order of priority. PRIO is a scheduler 
++and never delays packets - it is a work-conserving qdisc, though the qdiscs
++contained in the classes may not be.
++
++Very useful for lowering latency when there is no need for slowing down
++traffic.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++On creation with 'tc qdisc add', a fixed number of bands is created. Each
++band is a class, although is not possible to add classes with 'tc qdisc
++add', the number of bands to be created must instead be specified on the
++commandline attaching PRIO to its root.
++
++When dequeueing, band 0 is tried first and only if it did not deliver a
++packet does PRIO try band 1, and so onwards. Maximum reliability packets
++should therefore go to band 0, minimum delay to band 1 and the rest to band
++2.
++
++As the PRIO qdisc itself will have minor number 0, band 0 is actually
++major:1, band 1 is major:2, etc. For major, substitute the major number
++assigned to the qdisc on 'tc qdisc add' with the
++.B handle
++parameter.
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Three methods are available to PRIO to determine in which band a packet will
++be enqueued.
++.TP
++From userspace
++A process with sufficient privileges can encode the destination class
++directly with SO_PRIORITY, see
++.BR tc(7).
++.TP 
++with a tc filter
++A tc filter attached to the root qdisc can point traffic directly to a class
++.TP 
++with the priomap
++Based on the packet priority, which in turn is derived from the Type of
++Service assigned to the packet.
++.P
++Only the priomap is specific to this qdisc. 
++.SH QDISC PARAMETERS
++.TP
++bands
++Number of bands. If changed from the default of 3,
++.B priomap
++must be updated as well.
++.TP 
++priomap
++The priomap maps the priority of
++a packet to a class. The priority can either be set directly from userspace,
++or be derived from the Type of Service of the packet.
++
++Determines how packet priorities, as assigned by the kernel, map to
++bands. Mapping occurs based on the TOS octet of the packet, which looks like
++this:
++
++.nf
++0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
+++---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
++|           |               |   |

++|           |               |   |
+++---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
++.fi
++
++The four TOS bits (the 'TOS field') are defined as:
++
++.nf
++Binary Decimcal  Meaning
++-----------------------------------------
++1000   8         Minimize delay (md)
++0100   4         Maximize throughput (mt)

++0001   1         Minimize monetary cost (mmc)
++0000   0         Normal Service
++.fi
++
++As there is 1 bit to the right of these four bits, the actual value of the
++TOS field is double the value of the TOS bits. Tcpdump -v -v shows you the
++value of the entire TOS field, not just the four bits. It is the value you
++see in the first column of this table:

++.fi
++
++The second column contains the value of the relevant
++four TOS bits, followed by their translated meaning. For example, 15 stands
++for a packet wanting Minimal Montetary Cost, Maximum Reliability, Maximum
++Throughput AND Minimum Delay. 
++
++The fourth column lists the way the Linux kernel interprets the TOS bits, by
++showing to which Priority they are mapped.
++
++The last column shows the result of the default priomap. On the commandline,
++the default priomap looks like this:
++
++    1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 0, 0 , 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
++
++This means that priority 4, for example, gets mapped to band number 1.
++The priomap also allows you to list higher priorities (> 7) which do not
++correspond to TOS mappings, but which are set by other means.
++
++This table from RFC 1349 (read it for more details) explains how
++applications might very well set their TOS bits:

++.SH CLASSES
++PRIO classes cannot be configured further - they are automatically created
++when the PRIO qdisc is attached. Each class however can contain yet a
++further qdisc.
++
++.SH BUGS
++Large amounts of traffic in the lower bands can cause starvation of higher
++bands. Can be prevented by attaching a shaper (for example, 
++.BR tc-tbf(8)
++to these bands to make sure they cannot dominate the link.

++.SH NAME
++red \- Random Early Detection 
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... red
++.B limit 
++bytes
++.B min 
++bytes 
++.B max 
++bytes 
++.B avpkt
++bytes
++.B burst 
++packets
++.B [ ecn ] [ bandwidth
++rate
++.B ] probability
++chance
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Random Early Detection is a classless qdisc which manages its queue size
++smartly. Regular queues simply drop packets from the tail when they are
++full, which may not be the optimal behaviour. RED also performs tail drop,
++but does so in a more gradual way.
++
++Once the queue hits a certain average length, packets enqueued have a
++configurable chance of being marked (which may mean dropped). This chance
++increases linearly up to a point called the
++.B max
++average queue length, although the queue might get bigger.
++
++This has a host of benefits over simple taildrop, while not being processor
++intensive. It prevents synchronous retransmits after a burst in traffic,
++which cause further retransmits, etc.
++
++The goal is the have a small queue size, which is good for interactivity
++while not disturbing TCP/IP traffic with too many sudden drops after a burst
++of traffic.
++
++Depending on if ECN is configured, marking either means dropping or
++purely marking a packet as overlimit.
++.SH ALGORITHM
++The average queue size is used for determining the marking
++probability. This is calculated using an Exponential Weighted Moving
++Average, which can be more or less sensitive to bursts.
++
++When the average queue size is below 
++.B min
++bytes, no packet will ever be marked. When it exceeds 
++.B min, 
++the probability of doing so climbs linearly up
++to 
++.B probability, 
++until the average queue size hits
++.B max
++bytes. Because 
++.B probability 
++is normally not set to 100%, the queue size might
++conceivably rise above 
++.B max
++bytes, so the 
++.B limit
++parameter is provided to set a hard maximum for the size of the queue.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++min
++Average queue size at which marking becomes a possibility.
++.TP 
++max
++At this average queue size, the marking probability is maximal. Should be at
++least twice
++.B min
++to prevent synchronous retransmits, higher for low 
++.B min.
++.TP 
++probability
++Maximum probability for marking, specified as a floating point
++number from 0.0 to 1.0. Suggested values are 0.01 or 0.02 (1 or 2%,
++respectively).
++.TP 
++limit
++Hard limit on the real (not average) queue size in bytes. Further packets
++are dropped. Should be set higher than max+burst. It is advised to set this
++a few times higher than 
++.B max.
++.TP
++burst
++Used for determining how fast the average queue size is influenced by the
++real queue size. Larger values make the calculation more sluggish, allowing
++longer bursts of traffic before marking starts. Real life experiments
++support the following guideline: (min+min+max)/(3*avpkt).
++.TP 
++avpkt
++Specified in bytes. Used with burst to determine the time constant for
++average queue size calculations. 1000 is a good value.
++.TP
++bandwidth
++This rate is used for calculating the average queue size after some
++idle time. Should be set to the bandwidth of your interface. Does not mean
++that RED will shape for you! Optional.
++.TP
++ecn
++As mentioned before, RED can either 'mark' or 'drop'. Explicit Congestion
++Notification allows RED to notify remote hosts that their rate exceeds the
++amount of bandwidth available. Non-ECN capable hosts can only be notified by
++dropping a packet.  If this parameter is specified, packets which indicate
++that their hosts honor ECN will only be marked and not dropped, unless the
++queue size hits
++.B limit
++bytes. Needs a tc binary with RED support compiled in. Recommended.

++.SH NAME
++sfq \- Stochastic Fairness Queueing
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... perturb
++seconds
++.B quantum
++bytes
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++
++Stochastic Fairness Queueing is a classless queueing discipline available for
++traffic control with the 
++.BR tc (8)
++command.
++
++SFQ does not shape traffic but only schedules the transmission of packets, based on 'flows'. 
++The goal is to ensure fairness so that each flow is able to send data in turn, thus preventing
++any single flow from drowning out the rest.
++
++This may in fact have some effect in mitigating a Denial of Service attempt.
++
++SFQ is work-conserving and therefore always delivers a packet if it has one available.
++.SH ALGORITHM
++On enqueueing, each packet is assigned to a hash bucket, based on
++.TP
++(i)
++Source address
++.TP
++(ii)
++Destination address
++.TP
++(iii)
++Source port
++.P
++If these are available. SFQ knows about ipv4 and ipv6 and also UDP, TCP and ESP. 
++Packets with other protocols are hashed based on the 32bits representation of their 
++destination and the socket they belong to. A flow corresponds mostly to a TCP/IP 
++connection.
++
++Each of these buckets should represent a unique flow. Because multiple flows may
++get hashed to the same bucket, the hashing algorithm is perturbed at configurable 
++intervals so that the unfairness lasts only for a short while. Perturbation may 
++however cause some inadvertent packet reordering to occur.
++
++When dequeuing, each hashbucket with data is queried in a round robin fashion.
++
++The compile time maximum length of the SFQ is 128 packets, which can be spread over
++at most 128 buckets of 1024 available. In case of overflow, tail-drop is performed
++on the fullest bucket, thus maintaining fairness.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++perturb
++Interval in seconds for queue algorithm perturbation. Defaults to 0, which means that 
++no perturbation occurs. Do not set too low for each perturbation may cause some packet
++reordering. Advised value: 10
++.TP 
++quantum
++Amount of bytes a flow is allowed to dequeue during a round of the round robin process.
++Defaults to the MTU of the interface which is also the advised value and the minimum value.
++
++.SH EXAMPLE & USAGE
++
++To attach to device ppp0:
++.P
++# tc qdisc add dev ppp0 root sfq perturb 10
++.P
++Please note that SFQ, like all non-shaping (work-conserving) qdiscs, is only useful 
++if it owns the queue.
++This is the case when the link speed equals the actually available bandwidth. This holds 
++for regular phone modems, ISDN connections and direct non-switched ethernet links. 
++.P
++Most often, cable modems and DSL devices do not fall into this category. The same holds 
++for when connected to a switch  and trying to send data to a congested segment also 
++connected to the switch.
++.P
++In this case, the effective queue does not reside within Linux and is therefore not 
++available for scheduling.
++.P
++Embed SFQ in a classful qdisc to make sure it owns the queue.

++.P
++burst is also known as buffer and maxburst. mtu is also known as minburst.
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++
++The Token Bucket Filter is a classless queueing discipline available for
++traffic control with the 
++.BR tc (8)
++command.
++
++TBF is a pure shaper and never schedules traffic. It is non-work-conserving and may throttle
++itself, although packets are available, to ensure that the configured rate is not exceeded. 
++On all platforms except for Alpha,
++it is able to shape up to 1mbit/s of normal traffic with ideal minimal burstiness, 
++sending out  data exactly at the configured rates. 
++
++Much higher rates are possible but at the cost of losing the minimal burstiness. In that
++case, data is on average dequeued at the configured rate but may be sent much faster at millisecond 
++timescales. Because of further queues living in network adaptors, this is often not a problem.
++
++Kernels with a higher 'HZ' can achieve higher rates with perfect burstiness. On Alpha, HZ is ten
++times higher, leading to a 10mbit/s limit to perfection. These calculations hold for packets of on 
++average 1000 bytes.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++As the name implies, traffic is filtered based on the expenditure of 
++.B tokens.
++Tokens roughly correspond to bytes, with the additional constraint that each packet consumes
++some tokens, no matter how small it is. This reflects the fact that even a zero-sized packet occupies
++the link for some time.
++
++On creation, the TBF is stocked with tokens which correspond to the amount of traffic that can be burst 
++in one go. Tokens arrive at a steady rate, until the bucket is full.
++
++If no tokens are available, packets are queued, up to a configured limit. The TBF now 
++calculates the token deficit, and throttles until the first packet in the queue can be sent.
++
++If it is not acceptable to burst out packets at maximum speed, a peakrate can be configured 
++to limit the speed at which the bucket empties. This peakrate is implemented as a second TBF
++with a very small bucket, so that it doesn't burst.
++
++To achieve perfection, the second bucket may contain only a single packet, which leads to 
++the earlier mentioned 1mbit/s limit. 
++
++This limit is caused by the fact that the kernel can only throttle for at minimum 1 'jiffy', which depends
++on HZ as 1/HZ. For perfect shaping, only a single packet can get sent per jiffy - for HZ=100, this means 100 
++packets of on average 1000 bytes each, which roughly corresponds to 1mbit/s.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++See 
++.BR tc (8)
++for how to specify the units of these values.
++.TP
++limit or latency
++Limit is the number of bytes that can be queued waiting for tokens to become
++available. You can also specify this the other way around by setting the
++latency parameter, which specifies the maximum amount of time a packet can
++sit in the TBF. The latter calculation takes into account the size of the
++bucket, the rate and possibly the peakrate (if set). These two parameters
++are mutually exclusive. 
++.TP
++burst
++Also known as buffer or maxburst.
++Size of the bucket, in bytes. This is the maximum amount of bytes that tokens can be available for instantaneously. 
++In general, larger shaping rates require a larger buffer. For 10mbit/s on Intel, you need at least 10kbyte buffer 
++if you want to reach your configured rate!
++
++If your buffer is too small, packets may be dropped because more tokens arrive per timer tick than fit in your bucket.
++The minimum buffer size can be calculated by dividing the rate by HZ.
++
++Token usage calculations are performed using a table which by default has a resolution of 8 packets. 
++This resolution can be changed by specifying the 
++.B cell
++size with the burst. For example, to specify a 6000 byte buffer with a 16
++byte cell size, set a burst of 6000/16. You will probably never have to set
++this. Must be an integral power of 2.
++.TP
++mpu
++A zero-sized packet does not use zero bandwidth. For ethernet, no packet uses less than 64 bytes. The Minimum Packet Unit 
++determines the minimal token usage (specified in bytes) for a packet. Defaults to zero.
++.TP
++rate
++The speed knob. See remarks above about limits! See 
++.BR tc (8)
++for units.
++.PP
++Furthermore, if a peakrate is desired, the following parameters are available:
++
++.TP
++peakrate
++Maximum depletion rate of the bucket. Limited to 1mbit/s on Intel, 10mbit/s on Alpha. The peakrate does 
++not need to be set, it is only necessary if perfect millisecond timescale shaping is required.
++
++.TP
++mtu/minburst
++Specifies the size of the peakrate bucket. For perfect accuracy, should be set to the MTU of the interface.
++If a peakrate is needed, but some burstiness is acceptable, this size can be raised. A 3000 byte minburst
++allows around 3mbit/s of peakrate, given 1000 byte packets.
++
++Like the regular burstsize you can also specify a 
++.B cell
++size.
++.SH EXAMPLE & USAGE
++
++To attach a TBF with a sustained maximum rate of 0.5mbit/s, a peakrate of 1.0mbit/s,
++a 5kilobyte buffer, with a pre-bucket queue size limit calculated so the TBF causes
++at most 70ms of latency, with perfect peakrate behaviour, issue:
++.P
++# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 0.5mbit \\
++  burst 5kb latency 70ms peakrate 1mbit       \\
++  minburst 1540

++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++.B Tc
++is used to configure Traffic Control in the Linux kernel. Traffic Control consists 
++of the following:
++
++.TP 
++SHAPING
++When traffic is shaped, its rate of transmission is under control. Shaping may 
++be more than lowering the available bandwidth - it is also used to smooth out 
++bursts in traffic for better network behaviour. Shaping occurs on egress.
++
++.TP 
++SCHEDULING
++By scheduling the transmission of packets it is possible to improve interactivity
++for traffic that needs it while still guaranteeing bandwidth to bulk transfers. Reordering
++is also called prioritizing, and happens only on egress.
++
++.TP
++POLICING
++Where shaping deals with transmission of traffic, policing pertains to traffic
++arriving. Policing thus occurs on ingress.
++
++.TP
++DROPPING
++Traffic exceeding a set bandwidth may also be dropped forthwith, both on 
++ingress and on egress.
++
++.P
++Processing of traffic is controlled by three kinds of objects: qdiscs, 
++classes and filters. 
++
++.SH QDISCS
++.B qdisc 
++is short for 'queueing discipline' and it is elementary to 
++understanding traffic control. Whenever the kernel needs to send a 
++packet to an interface, it is 
++.B enqueued
++to the qdisc configured for that interface. Immediately afterwards, the kernel
++tries to get as many packets as possible from the qdisc, for giving them
++to the network adaptor driver.
++
++A simple QDISC is the 'pfifo' one, which does no processing at all and is a pure 
++First In, First Out queue. It does however store traffic when the network interface
++can't handle it momentarily.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Some qdiscs can contain classes, which contain further qdiscs - traffic may 
++then be enqueued in any of the inner qdiscs, which are within the
++.B classes.
++When the kernel tries to dequeue a packet from such a 
++.B classful qdisc
++it can come from any of the classes. A qdisc may for example prioritize 
++certain kinds of traffic by trying to dequeue from certain classes
++before others.
++
++.SH FILTERS
++A
++.B filter
++is used by a classful qdisc to determine in which class a packet will
++be enqueued. Whenever traffic arrives at a class with subclasses, it needs
++to be classified. Various methods may be employed to do so, one of these
++are the filters. All filters attached to the class are called, until one of 
++them returns with a verdict. If no verdict was made, other criteria may be 
++available. This differs per qdisc.
++
++It is important to notice that filters reside 
++.B within
++qdiscs - they are not masters of what happens.
++
++.SH CLASSLESS QDISCS
++The classless qdiscs are:
++.TP 
++[p|b]fifo
++Simplest usable qdisc, pure First In, First Out behaviour. Limited in 
++packets or in bytes.
++.TP
++pfifo_fast
++Standard qdisc for 'Advanced Router' enabled kernels. Consists of a three-band
++queue which honors Type of Service flags, as well as the priority that may be 
++assigned to a packet.
++.TP
++red
++Random Early Detection simulates physical congestion by randomly dropping
++packets when nearing configured bandwidth allocation. Well suited to very
++large bandwidth applications.
++.TP 
++sfq
++Stochastic Fairness Queueing reorders queued traffic so each 'session'
++gets to send a packet in turn.
++.TP
++tbf
++The Token Bucket Filter is suited for slowing traffic down to a precisely
++configured rate. Scales well to large bandwidths. 
++.SH CONFIGURING CLASSLESS QDISCS
++In the absence of classful qdiscs, classless qdiscs can only be attached at 
++the root of a device. Full syntax:
++.P
++.B tc qdisc add dev 
++DEV 
++.B root 
++QDISC QDISC-PARAMETERS
++
++To remove, issue
++.P
++.B tc qdisc del dev
++DEV
++.B root
++
++The  
++.B pfifo_fast
++qdisc is the automatic default in the absence of a configured qdisc.
++
++.SH CLASSFUL QDISCS
++The classful qdiscs are:
++.TP
++CBQ
++Class Based Queueing implements a rich linksharing hierarchy of classes. 
++It contains shaping elements as well as prioritizing capabilities. Shaping is
++performed using link idle time calculations based on average packet size and
++underlying link bandwidth. The latter may be ill-defined for some interfaces.
++.TP
++HTB
++The Hierarchy Token Bucket implements a rich linksharing hierarchy of 
++classes with an emphasis on conforming to existing practices. HTB facilitates
++guaranteeing bandwidth to classes, while also allowing specification of upper
++limits to inter-class sharing. It contains shaping elements, based on TBF and
++can prioritize classes.	
++.TP 
++PRIO
++The PRIO qdisc is a non-shaping container for a configurable number of 
++classes which are dequeued in order. This allows for easy prioritization 
++of traffic, where lower classes are only able to send if higher ones have 
++no packets available. To facilitate configuration, Type Of Service bits are 
++honored by default.
++.SH THEORY OF OPERATION
++Classes form a tree, where each class has a single parent. 
++A class may have multiple children. Some qdiscs allow for runtime addition
++of classes (CBQ, HTB) while others (PRIO) are created with a static number of 
++children.
++
++Qdiscs which allow dynamic addition of classes can have zero or more 
++subclasses to which traffic may be enqueued. 
++
++Furthermore, each class contains a
++.B leaf qdisc
++which by default has 
++.B pfifo 
++behaviour though another qdisc can be attached in place. This qdisc may again 
++contain classes, but each class can have only one leaf qdisc. 
++
++When a packet enters a classful qdisc it can be 
++.B classified
++to one of the classes within. Three criteria are available, although not all 
++qdiscs will use all three:
++.TP 
++tc filters
++If tc filters are attached to a class, they are consulted first 
++for relevant instructions. Filters can match on all fields of a packet header, 
++as well as on the firewall mark applied by ipchains or iptables. See 
++.BR tc-filters (8).
++.TP
++Type of Service
++Some qdiscs have built in rules for classifying packets based on the TOS field.
++.TP
++skb->priority
++Userspace programs can encode a class-id in the 'skb->priority' field using 
++the SO_PRIORITY option.
++.P
++Each node within the tree can have its own filters but higher level filters
++may also point directly to lower classes.
++
++If classification did not succeed, packets are enqueued to the leaf qdisc 
++attached to that class. Check qdisc specific manpages for details, however.
++
++.SH NAMING
++All qdiscs, classes and filters have IDs, which can either be specified
++or be automatically assigned. 
++
++IDs consist of a major number and a minor number, separated by a colon.
++
++.TP 
++QDISCS
++A qdisc, which potentially can have children, 
++gets assigned a major number, called a 'handle', leaving the minor 
++number namespace available for classes. The handle is expressed as '10:'. 
++It is customary to explicitly assign a handle to qdiscs expected to have 
++children.
++
++.TP 
++CLASSES
++Classes residing under a qdisc share their qdisc major number, but each have
++a separate minor number called a 'classid' that has no relation to their 
++parent classes, only to their parent qdisc. The same naming custom as for 
++qdiscs applies.
++
++.TP 
++FILTERS
++Filters have a three part ID, which is only needed when using a hashed
++filter hierarchy, for which see
++.BR tc-filters (8).
++.SH UNITS
++All parameters accept a floating point number, possibly followed by a unit.
++.P
++Bandwidths or rates can be specified in:
++.TP 
++kbps
++Kilobytes per second
++.TP
++mbps
++Megabytes per second
++.TP
++kbit
++Kilobits per second
++.TP
++mbit
++Megabits per second
++.TP
++bps or a bare number
++Bytes per second
++.P
++Amounts of data can be specified in:
++.TP
++kb or k
++Kilobytes
++.TP
++mb or m
++Megabytes
++.TP
++mbit
++Megabits
++.TP
++kbit
++Kilobits
++.TP
++b or a bare number
++Bytes.
++.P
++Lengths of time can be specified in:
++.TP
++s, sec or secs
++Whole seconds
++.TP
++ms, msec or msecs
++Milliseconds
++.TP
++us, usec, usecs or a bare number
++Microseconds.
++
++.SH TC COMMANDS
++The following commands are available for qdiscs, classes and filter:
++.TP
++add
++Add a qdisc, class or filter to a node. For all entities, a 
++.B parent
++must be passed, either by passing its ID or by attaching directly to the root of a device. 
++When creating a qdisc or a filter, it can be named with the
++.B handle
++parameter. A class is named with the
++.B classid
++parameter.
++
++.TP
++remove
++A qdisc can be removed by specifying its handle, which may also be 'root'. All subclasses and their leaf qdiscs 
++are automatically deleted, as well as any filters attached to them.
++
++.TP
++change
++Some entities can be modified 'in place'. Shares the syntax of 'add', with the exception
++that the handle cannot be changed and neither can the parent. In other words, 
++.B
++change 
++cannot move a node.
++
++.TP
++replace
++Performs a nearly atomic remove/add on an existing node id. If the node does not exist yet
++it is created.
++
++.TP
++link
++Only available for qdiscs and performs a replace where the node 
++must exist already.

++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Class Based Queueing is a classful qdisc that implements a rich
++linksharing hierarchy of classes.  It contains shaping elements as
++well as prioritizing capabilities.  Shaping is performed using link
++idle time calculations based on the timing of dequeue events and 
++underlying link bandwidth.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++Shaping is done using link idle time calculations, and actions taken if
++these calculations deviate from set limits.
++
++When shaping a 10mbit/s connection to 1mbit/s, the link will
++be idle 90% of the time. If it isn't, it needs to be throttled so that it
++IS idle 90% of the time.
++
++From the kernel's perspective, this is hard to measure, so CBQ instead 
++derives the idle time from the number of microseconds (in fact, jiffies) 
++that elapse between  requests from the device driver for more data. Combined 
++with the  knowledge of packet sizes, this is used to approximate how full or 
++empty the link is.
++
++This is rather circumspect and doesn't always arrive at proper
++results. For example, what is the actual link speed of an interface
++that is not really able to transmit the full 100mbit/s of data,
++perhaps because of a badly implemented driver? A PCMCIA network card
++will also never achieve 100mbit/s because of the way the bus is
++designed - again, how do we calculate the idle time?
++
++The physical link bandwidth may be ill defined in case of not-quite-real 
++network devices like PPP over Ethernet or PPTP over TCP/IP. The effective 
++bandwidth in that case is probably determined by the efficiency of pipes 
++to userspace - which not defined.
++
++During operations, the effective idletime is measured using an
++exponential weighted moving average (EWMA), which considers recent
++packets to be exponentially more important than past ones. The Unix
++loadaverage is calculated in the same way.
++
++The calculated idle time is subtracted from the EWMA measured one,
++the resulting number is called 'avgidle'. A perfectly loaded link has
++an avgidle of zero: packets arrive exactly at the calculated
++interval.
++
++An overloaded link has a negative avgidle and if it gets too negative,
++CBQ throttles and is then 'overlimit'.
++
++Conversely, an idle link might amass a huge avgidle, which would then
++allow infinite bandwidths after a few hours of silence. To prevent
++this, avgidle is capped at 
++.B maxidle.
++
++If overlimit, in theory, the CBQ could throttle itself for exactly the
++amount of time that was calculated to pass between packets, and then
++pass one packet, and throttle again. Due to timer resolution constraints,
++this may not be feasible, see the 
++.B minburst
++parameter below.
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one CBQ instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, CBQ starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. If a verdict is reached, this
++process is repeated for the recipient class which might have further
++means of classifying traffic to its children, if any.
++
++CBQ has the following methods available to classify a packet to any child 
++classes.
++.TP
++(i)
++.B skb->priority class encoding.
++Can be set from userspace by an application with the 
++.B SO_PRIORITY
++setsockopt.
++The 
++.B skb->priority class encoding
++only applies if the skb->priority holds a major:minor handle of an existing 
++class within  this qdisc.
++.TP
++(ii)
++tc filters attached to the class.
++.TP
++(iii)
++The defmap of a class, as set with the 
++.B split & defmap
++parameters. The defmap may contain instructions for each possible Linux packet
++priority.
++
++.P
++Each class also has a 
++.B level.
++Leaf nodes, attached to the bottom of the class hierarchy, have a level of 0.
++.SH CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHM
++
++Classification is a loop, which terminates when a leaf class is found. At any 
++point the loop may jump to the fallback algorithm.
++
++The loop consists of the following steps:
++.TP 
++(i)
++If the packet is generated locally and has a valid classid encoded within its
++.B skb->priority,
++choose it and terminate.
++
++.TP
++(ii)
++Consult the tc filters, if any, attached to this child. If these return
++a class which is not a leaf class, restart loop from the class returned.
++If it is a leaf, choose it and terminate.
++.TP
++(iii)
++If the tc filters did not return a class, but did return a classid, 
++try to find a class with that id within this qdisc. 
++Check if the found class is of a lower
++.B level
++than the current class. If so, and the returned class is not a leaf node,
++restart the loop at the found class. If it is a leaf node, terminate.
++If we found an upward reference to a higher level, enter the fallback 
++algorithm.
++.TP
++(iv)
++If the tc filters did not return a class, nor a valid reference to one,
++consider the minor number of the reference to be the priority. Retrieve
++a class from the defmap of this class for the priority. If this did not
++contain a class, consult the defmap of this class for the 
++.B BEST_EFFORT
++class. If this is an upward reference, or no 
++.B BEST_EFFORT 
++class was defined,
++enter the fallback algorithm. If a valid class was found, and it is not a
++leaf node, restart the loop at this class. If it is a leaf, choose it and 
++terminate. If
++neither the priority distilled from the classid, nor the 
++.B BEST_EFFORT 
++priority yielded a class, enter the fallback algorithm.
++.P
++The fallback algorithm resides outside of the loop and is as follows.
++.TP
++(i)
++Consult the defmap of the class at which the jump to fallback occured. If 
++the defmap contains a class for the 
++.B
++priority
++of the class (which is related to the TOS field), choose this class and 
++terminate. 
++.TP
++(ii)
++Consult the map for a class for the
++.B BEST_EFFORT
++priority. If found, choose it, and terminate.
++.TP
++(iii)
++Choose the class at which break out to the fallback algorithm occured. Terminate.
++.P
++The packet is enqueued to the class which was chosen when either algorithm 
++terminated. It is therefore possible for a packet to be enqueued *not* at a
++leaf node, but in the middle of the hierarchy.
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++When dequeuing for sending to the network device, CBQ decides which of its 
++classes will be allowed to send. It does so with a Weighted Round Robin process
++in which each class with packets gets a chance to send in turn. The WRR process
++starts by asking the highest priority classes (lowest numerically - 
++highest semantically) for packets, and will continue to do so until they
++have no more data to offer, in which case the process repeats for lower 
++priorities.
++
++.B CERTAINTY ENDS HERE, ANK PLEASE HELP
++
++Each class is not allowed to send at length though - they can only dequeue a
++configurable amount of data during each round. 
++
++If a class is about to go overlimit, and it is not
++.B bounded
++it will try to borrow avgidle from siblings that are not
++.B isolated. 
++This process is repeated from the bottom upwards. If a class is unable
++to borrow enough avgidle to send a packet, it is throttled and not asked
++for a packet for enough time for the avgidle to increase above zero.
++
++.B I REALLY NEED HELP FIGURING THIS OUT. REST OF DOCUMENT IS PRETTY CERTAIN
++.B AGAIN.
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root qdisc of a CBQ class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the CBQ instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP
++handle major:
++Like all other qdiscs, the CBQ can be assigned a handle. Should consist only
++of a major number, followed by a colon. Optional.
++.TP
++avpkt bytes
++For calculations, the average packet size must be known. It is silently capped
++at a minimum of 2/3 of the interface MTU. Mandatory.
++.TP
++bandwidth rate
++To determine the idle time, CBQ must know the bandwidth of your underlying 
++physical interface, or parent qdisc. This is a vital parameter, more about it
++later. Mandatory.
++.TP
++cell
++The cell size determines he granularity of packet transmission time calculations. Has a sensible default.
++.TP 
++mpu
++A zero sized packet may still take time to transmit. This value is the lower
++cap for packet transmission time calculations - packets smaller than this value
++are still deemed to have this size. Defaults to zero.
++.TP
++ewma log
++When CBQ needs to measure the average idle time, it does so using an 
++Exponentially Weighted Moving Average which smoothes out measurements into
++a moving average. The EWMA LOG determines how much smoothing occurs. Defaults 
++to 5. Lower values imply greater sensitivity. Must be between 0 and 31.
++.P
++A CBQ qdisc does not shape out of its own accord. It only needs to know certain
++parameters about the underlying link. Actual shaping is done in classes.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Classes have a host of parameters to configure their operation.
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor
++Place of this class within the hierarchy. If attached directly to a qdisc 
++and not to another class, minor can be omitted. Mandatory.
++.TP 
++classid major:minor
++Like qdiscs, classes can be named. The major number must be equal to the
++major number of the qdisc to which it belongs. Optional, but needed if this 
++class is going to have children.
++.TP 
++weight weight
++When dequeuing to the interface, classes are tried for traffic in a 
++round-robin fashion. Classes with a higher configured qdisc will generally
++have more traffic to offer during each round, so it makes sense to allow
++it to dequeue more traffic. All weights under a class are normalized, so
++only the ratios matter. Defaults to the configured rate, unless the priority 
++of this class is maximal, in which case it is set to 1.
++.TP 
++allot bytes
++Allot specifies how many bytes a qdisc can dequeue
++during each round of the process. This parameter is weighted using the 
++renormalized class weight described above.
++
++.TP 
++priority priority
++In the round-robin process, classes with the lowest priority field are tried 
++for packets first. Mandatory.
++
++.TP 
++rate rate
++Maximum rate this class and all its children combined can send at. Mandatory.
++
++.TP
++bandwidth rate
++This is different from the bandwidth specified when creating a CBQ disc. Only
++used to determine maxidle and offtime, which are only calculated when
++specifying maxburst or minburst. Mandatory if specifying maxburst or minburst.
++
++.TP 
++maxburst
++This number of packets is used to calculate maxidle so that when
++avgidle is at maxidle, this number of average packets can be burst
++before avgidle drops to 0. Set it higher to be more tolerant of
++bursts. You can't set maxidle directly, only via this parameter.
++
++.TP
++minburst 
++As mentioned before, CBQ needs to throttle in case of
++overlimit. The ideal solution is to do so for exactly the calculated
++idle time, and pass 1 packet. However, Unix kernels generally have a
++hard time scheduling events shorter than 10ms, so it is better to
++throttle for a longer period, and then pass minburst packets in one
++go, and then sleep minburst times longer.
++
++The time to wait is called the offtime. Higher values of minburst lead
++to more accurate shaping in the long term, but to bigger bursts at
++millisecond timescales.
++
++.TP
++minidle
++If avgidle is below 0, we are overlimits and need to wait until
++avgidle will be big enough to send one packet. To prevent a sudden
++burst from shutting down the link for a prolonged period of time,
++avgidle is reset to minidle if it gets too low.
++
++Minidle is specified in negative microseconds, so 10 means that
++avgidle is capped at -10us.
++
++.TP
++bounded 
++Signifies that this class will not borrow bandwidth from its siblings.
++.TP 
++isolated
++Means that this class will not borrow bandwidth to its siblings
++
++.TP 
++split major:minor & defmap bitmap[/bitmap]
++If consulting filters attached to a class did not give a verdict, 
++CBQ can also classify based on the packet's priority. There are 16
++priorities available, numbered from 0 to 15. 
++
++The defmap specifies which priorities this class wants to receive, 
++specified as a bitmap. The Least Significant Bit corresponds to priority 
++zero. The 
++.B split
++parameter tells CBQ at which class the decision must be made, which should
++be a (grand)parent of the class you are adding.
++
++As an example, 'tc class add ... classid 10:1 cbq .. split 10:0 defmap c0'
++configures class 10:0 to send packets with priorities 6 and 7 to 10:1.
++
++The complimentary configuration would then 
++be: 'tc class add ... classid 10:2 cbq ... split 10:0 defmap 3f'
++Which would send all packets 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to 10:1.
++.TP
++estimator interval timeconstant
++CBQ can measure how much bandwidth each class is using, which tc filters
++can use to classify packets with. In order to determine the bandwidth
++it uses a very simple estimator that measures once every
++.B interval
++microseconds how much traffic has passed. This again is a EWMA, for which
++the time constant can be specified, also in microseconds. The 
++.B time constant
++corresponds to the sluggishness of the measurement or, conversely, to the 
++sensitivity of the average to short bursts. Higher values mean less
++sensitivity.

++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Class Based Queueing is a classful qdisc that implements a rich
++linksharing hierarchy of classes.  It contains shaping elements as
++well as prioritizing capabilities.  Shaping is performed using link
++idle time calculations based on the timing of dequeue events and 
++underlying link bandwidth.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++When shaping a 10mbit/s connection to 1mbit/s, the link will
++be idle 90% of the time. If it isn't, it needs to be throttled so that it
++IS idle 90% of the time.
++
++During operations, the effective idletime is measured using an
++exponential weighted moving average (EWMA), which considers recent
++packets to be exponentially more important than past ones. The Unix
++loadaverage is calculated in the same way.
++
++The calculated idle time is subtracted from the EWMA measured one,
++the resulting number is called 'avgidle'. A perfectly loaded link has
++an avgidle of zero: packets arrive exactly at the calculated
++interval.
++
++An overloaded link has a negative avgidle and if it gets too negative,
++CBQ throttles and is then 'overlimit'.
++
++Conversely, an idle link might amass a huge avgidle, which would then
++allow infinite bandwidths after a few hours of silence. To prevent
++this, avgidle is capped at 
++.B maxidle.
++
++If overlimit, in theory, the CBQ could throttle itself for exactly the
++amount of time that was calculated to pass between packets, and then
++pass one packet, and throttle again. Due to timer resolution constraints,
++this may not be feasible, see the 
++.B minburst
++parameter below.
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one CBQ instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, CBQ starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. 
++
++In the absence of uncommon configuration options, the process is rather easy. 
++At each node we look for an instruction, and then go to the class the 
++instruction refers us to. If the class found is a barren leaf-node (without 
++children), we enqueue the packet there. If it is not yet a leaf node, we do 
++the whole thing over again starting from that node. 
++
++The following actions are performed, in order at each node we visit, until one 
++sends us to another node, or terminates the process.
++.TP
++(i)
++Consult filters attached to the class. If sent to a leafnode, we are done. 
++Otherwise, restart.
++.TP
++(ii)
++Consult the defmap for the priority assigned to this packet, which depends 
++on the TOS bits. Check if the referral is leafless, otherwise restart.
++.TP
++(iii)
++Ask the defmap for instructions for the 'best effort' priority. Check the 
++answer for leafness, otherwise restart.
++.TP
++(iv)
++If none of the above returned with an instruction, enqueue at this node.
++.P
++This algorithm makes sure that a packet always ends up somewhere, even while
++you are busy building your configuration. 
++
++For more details, see
++.BR tc-cbq-details(8).
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++When dequeuing for sending to the network device, CBQ decides which of its 
++classes will be allowed to send. It does so with a Weighted Round Robin process
++in which each class with packets gets a chance to send in turn. The WRR process
++starts by asking the highest priority classes (lowest numerically - 
++highest semantically) for packets, and will continue to do so until they
++have no more data to offer, in which case the process repeats for lower 
++priorities.
++
++Classes by default borrow bandwidth from their siblings. A class can be 
++prevented from doing so by declaring it 'bounded'. A class can also indicate 
++its unwillingness to lend out bandwidth by being 'isolated'.
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root of a CBQ qdisc class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the CBQ instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP
++handle major:
++Like all other qdiscs, the CBQ can be assigned a handle. Should consist only
++of a major number, followed by a colon. Optional, but very useful if classes
++will be generated within this qdisc.
++.TP 
++allot bytes
++This allotment is the 'chunkiness' of link sharing and is used for determining packet
++transmission time tables. The qdisc allot differs slightly from the class allot discussed
++below. Optional. Defaults to a reasonable value, related to avpkt.
++.TP
++avpkt bytes
++The average size of a packet is needed for calculating maxidle, and is also used
++for making sure 'allot' has a safe value. Mandatory.
++.TP
++bandwidth rate
++To determine the idle time, CBQ must know the bandwidth of your underlying 
++physical interface, or parent qdisc. This is a vital parameter, more about it
++later. Mandatory.

++The actual bandwidth of the underlying link may not be known, for example 
++in the case of PPoE or PPTP connections which in fact may send over a 
++pipe, instead of over a physical device. CBQ is quite resilient to major
++errors in the configured bandwidth, probably a the cost of coarser shaping.
++
++Default kernels rely on coarse timing information for making decisions. These 
++may make shaping precise in the long term, but inaccurate on second long scales.
++
++See 
++.BR tc-cbq-details(8)
++for hints on how to improve this.

++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++HTB is meant as a more understandable and intuitive replacement for
++the CBQ qdisc in Linux. Both CBQ and HTB help you to control the use
++of the outbound bandwidth on a given link. Both allow you to use one
++physical link to simulate several slower links and to send different
++kinds of traffic on different simulated links. In both cases, you have
++to specify how to divide the physical link into simulated links and
++how to decide which simulated link to use for a given packet to be sent. 
++
++Unlike CBQ, HTB shapes traffic based on the Token Bucket Filter algorithm 
++which does not depend on interface characteristics and so does not need to
++know the underlying bandwidth of the outgoing interface.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++Shaping works as documented in
++.B tc-tbf (8).
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one HRB instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, HTB starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. 
++
++In the absence of uncommon configuration options, the process is rather easy. 
++At each node we look for an instruction, and then go to the class the 
++instruction refers us to. If the class found is a barren leaf-node (without 
++children), we enqueue the packet there. If it is not yet a leaf node, we do 
++the whole thing over again starting from that node. 
++
++The following actions are performed, in order at each node we visit, until one 
++sends us to another node, or terminates the process.
++.TP
++(i)
++Consult filters attached to the class. If sent to a leafnode, we are done. 
++Otherwise, restart.
++.TP
++(ii)
++If none of the above returned with an instruction, enqueue at this node.
++.P
++This algorithm makes sure that a packet always ends up somewhere, even while
++you are busy building your configuration. 
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++FIXME
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root of a HTB qdisc class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the HTB instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP
++handle major:
++Like all other qdiscs, the HTB can be assigned a handle. Should consist only
++of a major number, followed by a colon. Optional, but very useful if classes
++will be generated within this qdisc.
++.TP 
++default minor-id
++Unclassified traffic gets sent to the class with this minor-id.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Classes have a host of parameters to configure their operation.
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor
++Place of this class within the hierarchy. If attached directly to a qdisc 
++and not to another class, minor can be omitted. Mandatory.
++.TP 
++classid major:minor
++Like qdiscs, classes can be named. The major number must be equal to the
++major number of the qdisc to which it belongs. Optional, but needed if this 
++class is going to have children.
++.TP 
++prio priority
++In the round-robin process, classes with the lowest priority field are tried 
++for packets first. Mandatory.
++
++.TP 
++rate rate
++Maximum rate this class and all its children are guaranteed. Mandatory.
++
++.TP
++ceil rate
++Maximum rate at which a class can send, if its parent has bandwidth to spare. 
++Defaults to the configured rate, which implies no borrowing
++
++.TP 
++burst bytes
++Amount of bytes that can be burst at 
++.B ceil
++speed, in excess of the configured
++.B rate. 
++Should be at least as high as the highest burst of all children.
++
++.TP 
++cburst bytes
++Amount of bytes that can be burst at 'infinite' speed, in other words, as fast
++as the interface can transmit them. For perfect evening out, should be equal to at most one average
++packet. Should be at least as high as the highest cburst of all children.
++
++.SH NOTES
++Due to Unix timing constraints, the maximum ceil rate is not infinite and may in fact be quite low. On Intel, 
++there are 100 timer events per second, the maximum rate is that rate at which 'burst' bytes are sent each timer tick.
++From this, the mininum burst size for a specified rate can be calculated. For i386, a 10mbit rate requires a 12 kilobyte 
++burst as 100*12kb*8 equals 10mbit.

++.TH PBFIFO 8 "10 January 2002" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++pfifo \- Packet limited First In, First Out queue
++.P
++bfifo \- Byte limited First In, First Out queue
++
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... add pfifo
++.B [ limit 
++packets
++.B ]
++.P
++.B tc qdisc ... add bfifo
++.B [ limit 
++bytes
++.B ]
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++The pfifo and bfifo qdiscs are unadorned First In, First Out queues. They are the
++simplest queues possible and therefore have no overhead. 
++.B pfifo
++constrains the queue size as measured in packets. 
++.B bfifo
++does so as measured in bytes.
++
++Like all non-default qdiscs, they maintain statistics. This might be a reason to prefer 
++pfifo or bfifo over the default.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++A list of packets is maintained, when a packet is enqueued it gets inserted at the tail of
++a list. When a packet needs to be sent out to the network, it is taken from the head of the list. 
++
++If the list is too long, no further packets are allowed on. This is called 'tail drop'.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++limit
++Maximum queue size. Specified in bytes for bfifo, in packets for pfifo. For pfifo, defaults 
++to the interface txqueuelen, as specified with 
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or
++.BR ip (8).
++
++For bfifo, it defaults to the txqueuelen multiplied by the interface MTU.
++
++.SH OUTPUT
++The output of 
++.B tc -s qdisc ls
++contains the limit, either in packets or in bytes, and the number of bytes 
++and packets actually sent. An unsent and dropped packet only appears between braces 
++and is not counted as 'Sent'.
++
++In this example, the queue length is 100 packets, 45894 bytes were sent over 681 packets. 
++No packets were dropped, and as the pfifo queue does not slow down packets, there were also no
++overlimits:
++.P
++.nf
++# tc -s qdisc ls dev eth0 
++qdisc pfifo 8001: dev eth0 limit 100p
++ Sent 45894 bytes 681 pkts (dropped 0, overlimits 0) 
++.fi
++
++If a backlog occurs, this is displayed as well.

++.TH PFIFO_FAST 8 "10 January 2002" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++pfifo_fast \- three-band first in, first out queue
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++pfifo_fast is the default qdisc of each interface.
++
++Whenever an interface is created, the pfifo_fast qdisc is automatically used
++as a queue. If another qdisc is attached, it preempts the default
++pfifo_fast, which automatically returns to function when an existing qdisc
++is detached.
++
++In this sense this qdisc is magic, and unlike other qdiscs.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++The algorithm is very similar to that of the classful 
++.BR tc-prio (8)
++qdisc. 
++.B pfifo_fast
++is like three
++.BR tc-pfifo (8)
++queues side by side, where packets can be enqueued in any of the three bands
++based on their Type of Service bits or assigned priority. 
++
++Not all three bands are dequeued simultaneously - as long as lower bands
++have traffic, higher bands are never dequeued. This can be used to
++prioritize interactive traffic or penalize 'lowest cost' traffic.
++
++Each band can be txqueuelen packets long, as configured with
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or 
++.BR ip (8).
++Additional packets coming in are not enqueued but are instead dropped.
++
++See
++.BR tc-prio (8)
++for complete details on how TOS bits are translated into bands.
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++txqueuelen
++The length of the three bands depends on the interface txqueuelen, as
++specified with
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or
++.BR ip (8).
++
++.SH BUGS
++Does not maintain statistics and does not show up in tc qdisc ls. This is because
++it is the automatic default in the absence of a configured qdisc.

++.TH PRIO 8 "16 December 2001" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++PRIO \- Priority qdisc
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... dev
++dev
++.B  ( parent
++classid 
++.B | root) [ handle 
++major: 
++.B ] prio [ bands 
++bands
++.B ] [ priomap
++band,band,band... 
++.B ] [ estimator 
++interval timeconstant
++.B ]
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++The PRIO qdisc is a simple classful queueing discipline that contains
++an arbitrary number of classes of differing priority. The classes are
++dequeued in numerical descending order of priority. PRIO is a scheduler 
++and never delays packets - it is a work-conserving qdisc, though the qdiscs
++contained in the classes may not be.
++
++Very useful for lowering latency when there is no need for slowing down
++traffic.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++On creation with 'tc qdisc add', a fixed number of bands is created. Each
++band is a class, although is not possible to add classes with 'tc qdisc
++add', the number of bands to be created must instead be specified on the
++commandline attaching PRIO to its root.
++
++When dequeueing, band 0 is tried first and only if it did not deliver a
++packet does PRIO try band 1, and so onwards. Maximum reliability packets
++should therefore go to band 0, minimum delay to band 1 and the rest to band
++2.
++
++As the PRIO qdisc itself will have minor number 0, band 0 is actually
++major:1, band 1 is major:2, etc. For major, substitute the major number
++assigned to the qdisc on 'tc qdisc add' with the
++.B handle
++parameter.
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Three methods are available to PRIO to determine in which band a packet will
++be enqueued.
++.TP
++From userspace
++A process with sufficient privileges can encode the destination class
++directly with SO_PRIORITY, see
++.BR tc(7).
++.TP 
++with a tc filter
++A tc filter attached to the root qdisc can point traffic directly to a class
++.TP 
++with the priomap
++Based on the packet priority, which in turn is derived from the Type of
++Service assigned to the packet.
++.P
++Only the priomap is specific to this qdisc. 
++.SH QDISC PARAMETERS
++.TP
++bands
++Number of bands. If changed from the default of 3,
++.B priomap
++must be updated as well.
++.TP 
++priomap
++The priomap maps the priority of
++a packet to a class. The priority can either be set directly from userspace,
++or be derived from the Type of Service of the packet.
++
++Determines how packet priorities, as assigned by the kernel, map to
++bands. Mapping occurs based on the TOS octet of the packet, which looks like
++this:
++
++.nf
++0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
+++---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
++|           |               |   |

++|           |               |   |
+++---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
++.fi
++
++The four TOS bits (the 'TOS field') are defined as:
++
++.nf
++Binary Decimcal  Meaning
++-----------------------------------------
++1000   8         Minimize delay (md)
++0100   4         Maximize throughput (mt)

++0001   1         Minimize monetary cost (mmc)
++0000   0         Normal Service
++.fi
++
++As there is 1 bit to the right of these four bits, the actual value of the
++TOS field is double the value of the TOS bits. Tcpdump -v -v shows you the
++value of the entire TOS field, not just the four bits. It is the value you
++see in the first column of this table:

++.fi
++
++The second column contains the value of the relevant
++four TOS bits, followed by their translated meaning. For example, 15 stands
++for a packet wanting Minimal Montetary Cost, Maximum Reliability, Maximum
++Throughput AND Minimum Delay. 
++
++The fourth column lists the way the Linux kernel interprets the TOS bits, by
++showing to which Priority they are mapped.
++
++The last column shows the result of the default priomap. On the commandline,
++the default priomap looks like this:
++
++    1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 0, 0 , 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
++
++This means that priority 4, for example, gets mapped to band number 1.
++The priomap also allows you to list higher priorities (> 7) which do not
++correspond to TOS mappings, but which are set by other means.
++
++This table from RFC 1349 (read it for more details) explains how
++applications might very well set their TOS bits:

++
++.SH BUGS

++.B max 
++bytes 
++.B avpkt
++bytes
++.B burst

++.B [ ecn ] [ bandwidth

++chance
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Random Early Detection is a classless qdisc which manages its queue size
++smartly. Regular queues simply drop packets from the tail when they are
++full, which may not be the optimal behaviour. RED also performs tail drop,
++but does so in a more gradual way.
++
++Once the queue hits a certain average length, packets enqueued have a
++configurable chance of being marked (which may mean dropped). This chance
++increases linearly up to a point called the
++.B max
++average queue length, although the queue might get bigger.
++
++This has a host of benefits over simple taildrop, while not being processor
++intensive. It prevents synchronous retransmits after a burst in traffic,
++which cause further retransmits, etc.
++
++The goal is the have a small queue size, which is good for interactivity
++while not disturbing TCP/IP traffic with too many sudden drops after a burst
++of traffic.
++
++Depending on if ECN is configured, marking either means dropping or
++purely marking a packet as overlimit.
++.SH ALGORITHM
++The average queue size is used for determining the marking
++probability. This is calculated using an Exponential Weighted Moving
++Average, which can be more or less sensitive to bursts.
++
++When the average queue size is below 
++.B min
++bytes, no packet will ever be marked. When it exceeds 
++.B min, 
++the probability of doing so climbs linearly up
++to 
++.B probability, 
++until the average queue size hits
++.B max
++bytes. Because 
++.B probability 
++is normally not set to 100%, the queue size might
++conceivably rise above 
++.B max
++bytes, so the 
++.B limit
++parameter is provided to set a hard maximum for the size of the queue.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++min
++Average queue size at which marking becomes a possibility.
++.TP 
++max
++At this average queue size, the marking probability is maximal. Should be at
++least twice
++.B min
++to prevent synchronous retransmits, higher for low 
++.B min.
++.TP 
++probability
++Maximum probability for marking, specified as a floating point
++number from 0.0 to 1.0. Suggested values are 0.01 or 0.02 (1 or 2%,
++respectively).
++.TP 
++limit
++Hard limit on the real (not average) queue size in bytes. Further packets
++are dropped. Should be set higher than max+burst. It is advised to set this
++a few times higher than 
++.B max.
++.TP
++burst
++Used for determining how fast the average queue size is influenced by the
++real queue size. Larger values make the calculation more sluggish, allowing
++longer bursts of traffic before marking starts. Real life experiments
++support the following guideline: (min+min+max)/(3*avpkt).
++.TP 
++avpkt
++Specified in bytes. Used with burst to determine the time constant for
++average queue size calculations. 1000 is a good value.
++.TP
++bandwidth
++This rate is used for calculating the average queue size after some
++idle time. Should be set to the bandwidth of your interface. Does not mean
++that RED will shape for you! Optional.
++.TP
++ecn
++As mentioned before, RED can either 'mark' or 'drop'. Explicit Congestion
++Notification allows RED to notify remote hosts that their rate exceeds the
++amount of bandwidth available. Non-ECN capable hosts can only be notified by
++dropping a packet.  If this parameter is specified, packets which indicate
++that their hosts honor ECN will only be marked and not dropped, unless the
++queue size hits
++.B limit
++bytes. Needs a tc binary with RED support compiled in. Recommended.

++.SH NAME
++sfq \- Stochastic Fairness Queueing
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... perturb
++seconds
++.B quantum
++bytes
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++
++Stochastic Fairness Queueing is a classless queueing discipline available for
++traffic control with the 
++.BR tc (8)
++command.
++
++SFQ does not shape traffic but only schedules the transmission of packets, based on 'flows'. 
++The goal is to ensure fairness so that each flow is able to send data in turn, thus preventing
++any single flow from drowning out the rest.
++
++This may in fact have some effect in mitigating a Denial of Service attempt.
++
++SFQ is work-conserving and therefore always delivers a packet if it has one available.
++.SH ALGORITHM
++On enqueueing, each packet is assigned to a hash bucket, based on
++.TP
++(i)
++Source address
++.TP
++(ii)
++Destination address
++.TP
++(iii)
++Source port
++.P
++If these are available. SFQ knows about ipv4 and ipv6 and also UDP, TCP and ESP. 
++Packets with other protocols are hashed based on the 32bits representation of their 
++destination and the socket they belong to. A flow corresponds mostly to a TCP/IP 
++connection.
++
++Each of these buckets should represent a unique flow. Because multiple flows may
++get hashed to the same bucket, the hashing algorithm is perturbed at configurable 
++intervals so that the unfairness lasts only for a short while. Perturbation may 
++however cause some inadvertent packet reordering to occur.
++
++When dequeuing, each hashbucket with data is queried in a round robin fashion.
++
++The compile time maximum length of the SFQ is 128 packets, which can be spread over
++at most 128 buckets of 1024 available. In case of overflow, tail-drop is performed
++on the fullest bucket, thus maintaining fairness.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS

++.P
++burst is also known as buffer and maxburst. mtu is also known as minburst.
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++
++The Token Bucket Filter is a classless queueing discipline available for
++traffic control with the 
++.BR tc (8)
++command.
++
++TBF is a pure shaper and never schedules traffic. It is non-work-conserving and may throttle
++itself, although packets are available, to ensure that the configured rate is not exceeded. 
++On all platforms except for Alpha,
++it is able to shape up to 1mbit/s of normal traffic with ideal minimal burstiness, 
++sending out  data exactly at the configured rates. 
++
++Much higher rates are possible but at the cost of losing the minimal burstiness. In that
++case, data is on average dequeued at the configured rate but may be sent much faster at millisecond 
++timescales. Because of further queues living in network adaptors, this is often not a problem.
++
++Kernels with a higher 'HZ' can achieve higher rates with perfect burstiness. On Alpha, HZ is ten
++times higher, leading to a 10mbit/s limit to perfection. These calculations hold for packets of on 
++average 1000 bytes.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++As the name implies, traffic is filtered based on the expenditure of 
++.B tokens.
++Tokens roughly correspond to bytes, with the additional constraint that each packet consumes
++some tokens, no matter how small it is. This reflects the fact that even a zero-sized packet occupies
++the link for some time.
++
++On creation, the TBF is stocked with tokens which correspond to the amount of traffic that can be burst 
++in one go. Tokens arrive at a steady rate, until the bucket is full.
++
++If no tokens are available, packets are queued, up to a configured limit. The TBF now 
++calculates the token deficit, and throttles until the first packet in the queue can be sent.
++
++If it is not acceptable to burst out packets at maximum speed, a peakrate can be configured 
++to limit the speed at which the bucket empties. This peakrate is implemented as a second TBF
++with a very small bucket, so that it doesn't burst.
++
++To achieve perfection, the second bucket may contain only a single packet, which leads to 
++the earlier mentioned 1mbit/s limit. 
++
++This limit is caused by the fact that the kernel can only throttle for at minimum 1 'jiffy', which depends
++on HZ as 1/HZ. For perfect shaping, only a single packet can get sent per jiffy - for HZ=100, this means 100 
++packets of on average 1000 bytes each, which roughly corresponds to 1mbit/s.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++See 
++.BR tc (8)
++for how to specify the units of these values.
++.TP
++limit or latency
++Limit is the number of bytes that can be queued waiting for tokens to become
++available. You can also specify this the other way around by setting the
++latency parameter, which specifies the maximum amount of time a packet can
++sit in the TBF. The latter calculation takes into account the size of the
++bucket, the rate and possibly the peakrate (if set). These two parameters
++are mutually exclusive. 
++.TP
++burst
++Also known as buffer or maxburst.
++Size of the bucket, in bytes. This is the maximum amount of bytes that tokens can be available for instantaneously. 
++In general, larger shaping rates require a larger buffer. For 10mbit/s on Intel, you need at least 10kbyte buffer 
++if you want to reach your configured rate!
++
++If your buffer is too small, packets may be dropped because more tokens arrive per timer tick than fit in your bucket.
++The minimum buffer size can be calculated by dividing the rate by HZ.
++
++Token usage calculations are performed using a table which by default has a resolution of 8 packets. 
++This resolution can be changed by specifying the 
++.B cell
++size with the burst. For example, to specify a 6000 byte buffer with a 16
++byte cell size, set a burst of 6000/16. You will probably never have to set
++this. Must be an integral power of 2.
++.TP
++mpu
++A zero-sized packet does not use zero bandwidth. For ethernet, no packet uses less than 64 bytes. The Minimum Packet Unit 
++determines the minimal token usage (specified in bytes) for a packet. Defaults to zero.
++.TP
++rate
++The speed knob. See remarks above about limits! See 
++.BR tc (8)
++for units.
++.PP
++Furthermore, if a peakrate is desired, the following parameters are available:
++
++.TP
++peakrate
++Maximum depletion rate of the bucket. Limited to 1mbit/s on Intel, 10mbit/s on Alpha. The peakrate does 
++not need to be set, it is only necessary if perfect millisecond timescale shaping is required.
++
++.TP
++mtu/minburst
++Specifies the size of the peakrate bucket. For perfect accuracy, should be set to the MTU of the interface.
++If a peakrate is needed, but some burstiness is acceptable, this size can be raised. A 3000 byte minburst
++allows around 3mbit/s of peakrate, given 1000 byte packets.
++
++Like the regular burstsize you can also specify a 
++.B cell
++size.
++.SH EXAMPLE & USAGE
++
++To attach a TBF with a sustained maximum rate of 0.5mbit/s, a peakrate of 1.0mbit/s,
++a 5kilobyte buffer, with a pre-bucket queue size limit calculated so the TBF causes
++at most 70ms of latency, with perfect peakrate behaviour, issue:
++.P
++# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 0.5mbit \\
++  burst 5kb latency 70ms peakrate 1mbit       \\
++  minburst 1540

++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++.B Tc
++is used to configure Traffic Control in the Linux kernel. Traffic Control consists 
++of the following:
++
++.TP 
++SHAPING
++When traffic is shaped, its rate of transmission is under control. Shaping may 
++be more than lowering the available bandwidth - it is also used to smooth out 
++bursts in traffic for better network behaviour. Shaping occurs on egress.
++
++.TP 
++SCHEDULING
++By scheduling the transmission of packets it is possible to improve interactivity
++for traffic that needs it while still guaranteeing bandwidth to bulk transfers. Reordering
++is also called prioritizing, and happens only on egress.
++
++.TP
++POLICING
++Where shaping deals with transmission of traffic, policing pertains to traffic
++arriving. Policing thus occurs on ingress.
++
++.TP
++DROPPING
++Traffic exceeding a set bandwidth may also be dropped forthwith, both on 
++ingress and on egress.
++
++.P
++Processing of traffic is controlled by three kinds of objects: qdiscs, 
++classes and filters. 
++
++.SH QDISCS
++.B qdisc 
++is short for 'queueing discipline' and it is elementary to 
++understanding traffic control. Whenever the kernel needs to send a 
++packet to an interface, it is 
++.B enqueued
++to the qdisc configured for that interface. Immediately afterwards, the kernel
++tries to get as many packets as possible from the qdisc, for giving them
++to the network adaptor driver.
++
++A simple QDISC is the 'pfifo' one, which does no processing at all and is a pure 
++First In, First Out queue. It does however store traffic when the network interface
++can't handle it momentarily.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Some qdiscs can contain classes, which contain further qdiscs - traffic may 
++then be enqueued in any of the inner qdiscs, which are within the
++.B classes.
++When the kernel tries to dequeue a packet from such a 
++.B classful qdisc
++it can come from any of the classes. A qdisc may for example prioritize 
++certain kinds of traffic by trying to dequeue from certain classes
++before others.
++
++.SH FILTERS
++A
++.B filter
++is used by a classful qdisc to determine in which class a packet will
++be enqueued. Whenever traffic arrives at a class with subclasses, it needs
++to be classified. Various methods may be employed to do so, one of these
++are the filters. All filters attached to the class are called, until one of 
++them returns with a verdict. If no verdict was made, other criteria may be 
++available. This differs per qdisc.
++
++It is important to notice that filters reside 
++.B within
++qdiscs - they are not masters of what happens.
++
++.SH CLASSLESS QDISCS
++The classless qdiscs are:
++.TP 
++[p|b]fifo
++Simplest usable qdisc, pure First In, First Out behaviour. Limited in 
++packets or in bytes.
++.TP
++pfifo_fast
++Standard qdisc for 'Advanced Router' enabled kernels. Consists of a three-band
++queue which honors Type of Service flags, as well as the priority that may be 
++assigned to a packet.
++.TP
++red
++Random Early Detection simulates physical congestion by randomly dropping
++packets when nearing configured bandwidth allocation. Well suited to very
++large bandwidth applications.
++.TP 
++sfq
++Stochastic Fairness Queueing reorders queued traffic so each 'session'
++gets to send a packet in turn.
++.TP
++tbf
++The Token Bucket Filter is suited for slowing traffic down to a precisely
++configured rate. Scales well to large bandwidths. 
++.SH CONFIGURING CLASSLESS QDISCS
++In the absence of classful qdiscs, classless qdiscs can only be attached at 
++the root of a device. Full syntax:
++.P
++.B tc qdisc add dev 
++DEV 
++.B root 
++QDISC QDISC-PARAMETERS
++
++To remove, issue
++.P
++.B tc qdisc del dev
++DEV
++.B root
++
++The  
++.B pfifo_fast
++qdisc is the automatic default in the absence of a configured qdisc.
++
++.SH CLASSFUL QDISCS
++The classful qdiscs are:
++.TP
++CBQ
++Class Based Queueing implements a rich linksharing hierarchy of classes. 
++It contains shaping elements as well as prioritizing capabilities. Shaping is
++performed using link idle time calculations based on average packet size and
++underlying link bandwidth. The latter may be ill-defined for some interfaces.
++.TP
++HTB
++The Hierarchy Token Bucket implements a rich linksharing hierarchy of 
++classes with an emphasis on conforming to existing practices. HTB facilitates
++guaranteeing bandwidth to classes, while also allowing specification of upper
++limits to inter-class sharing. It contains shaping elements, based on TBF and
++can prioritize classes.	
++.TP 
++PRIO
++The PRIO qdisc is a non-shaping container for a configurable number of 
++classes which are dequeued in order. This allows for easy prioritization 
++of traffic, where lower classes are only able to send if higher ones have 
++no packets available. To facilitate configuration, Type Of Service bits are 
++honored by default.
++.SH THEORY OF OPERATION
++Classes form a tree, where each class has a single parent. 
++A class may have multiple children. Some qdiscs allow for runtime addition
++of classes (CBQ, HTB) while others (PRIO) are created with a static number of 
++children.
++
++Qdiscs which allow dynamic addition of classes can have zero or more 
++subclasses to which traffic may be enqueued. 
++
++Furthermore, each class contains a
++.B leaf qdisc
++which by default has 
++.B pfifo 
++behaviour though another qdisc can be attached in place. This qdisc may again 
++contain classes, but each class can have only one leaf qdisc. 
++
++When a packet enters a classful qdisc it can be 
++.B classified
++to one of the classes within. Three criteria are available, although not all 
++qdiscs will use all three:
++.TP 
++tc filters
++If tc filters are attached to a class, they are consulted first 
++for relevant instructions. Filters can match on all fields of a packet header, 
++as well as on the firewall mark applied by ipchains or iptables. See 
++.BR tc-filters (8).
++.TP
++Type of Service
++Some qdiscs have built in rules for classifying packets based on the TOS field.
++.TP
++skb->priority
++Userspace programs can encode a class-id in the 'skb->priority' field using 
++the SO_PRIORITY option.
++.P
++Each node within the tree can have its own filters but higher level filters
++may also point directly to lower classes.
++
++If classification did not succeed, packets are enqueued to the leaf qdisc 
++attached to that class. Check qdisc specific manpages for details, however.
++
++.SH NAMING
++All qdiscs, classes and filters have IDs, which can either be specified
++or be automatically assigned. 
++
++IDs consist of a major number and a minor number, separated by a colon.
++
++.TP 
++QDISCS
++A qdisc, which potentially can have children, 
++gets assigned a major number, called a 'handle', leaving the minor 
++number namespace available for classes. The handle is expressed as '10:'. 
++It is customary to explicitly assign a handle to qdiscs expected to have 
++children.
++
++.TP 
++CLASSES
++Classes residing under a qdisc share their qdisc major number, but each have
++a separate minor number called a 'classid' that has no relation to their 
++parent classes, only to their parent qdisc. The same naming custom as for 
++qdiscs applies.
++
++.TP 
++FILTERS
++Filters have a three part ID, which is only needed when using a hashed
++filter hierarchy, for which see
++.BR tc-filters (8).
++.SH UNITS
++All parameters accept a floating point number, possibly followed by a unit.
++.P
++Bandwidths or rates can be specified in:
++.TP 
++kbps
++Kilobytes per second
++.TP
++mbps
++Megabytes per second
++.TP
++kbit
++Kilobits per second
++.TP
++mbit
++Megabits per second
++.TP
++bps or a bare number
++Bytes per second
++.P
++Amounts of data can be specified in:
++.TP
++kb or k
++Kilobytes
++.TP
++mb or m
++Megabytes
++.TP
++mbit
++Megabits
++.TP
++kbit
++Kilobits
++.TP
++b or a bare number
++Bytes.
++.P
++Lengths of time can be specified in:
++.TP
++s, sec or secs
++Whole seconds
++.TP
++ms, msec or msecs
++Milliseconds
++.TP
++us, usec, usecs or a bare number
++Microseconds.
++
++.SH TC COMMANDS
++The following commands are available for qdiscs, classes and filter:
++.TP
++add
++Add a qdisc, class or filter to a node. For all entities, a 
++.B parent
++must be passed, either by passing its ID or by attaching directly to the root of a device. 
++When creating a qdisc or a filter, it can be named with the
++.B handle
++parameter. A class is named with the
++.B classid
++parameter.
++
++.TP
++remove
++A qdisc can be removed by specifying its handle, which may also be 'root'. All subclasses and their leaf qdiscs 
++are automatically deleted, as well as any filters attached to them.
++
++.TP
++change
++Some entities can be modified 'in place'. Shares the syntax of 'add', with the exception
++that the handle cannot be changed and neither can the parent. In other words, 
++.B
++change 
++cannot move a node.
++
++.TP
++replace
++Performs a nearly atomic remove/add on an existing node id. If the node does not exist yet
++it is created.
++
++.TP
++link
++Only available for qdiscs and performs a replace where the node 
++must exist already.

++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Class Based Queueing is a classful qdisc that implements a rich
++linksharing hierarchy of classes.  It contains shaping elements as
++well as prioritizing capabilities.  Shaping is performed using link
++idle time calculations based on the timing of dequeue events and 
++underlying link bandwidth.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++When shaping a 10mbit/s connection to 1mbit/s, the link will
++be idle 90% of the time. If it isn't, it needs to be throttled so that it
++IS idle 90% of the time.
++
++During operations, the effective idletime is measured using an
++exponential weighted moving average (EWMA), which considers recent
++packets to be exponentially more important than past ones. The Unix
++loadaverage is calculated in the same way.
++
++The calculated idle time is subtracted from the EWMA measured one,
++the resulting number is called 'avgidle'. A perfectly loaded link has
++an avgidle of zero: packets arrive exactly at the calculated
++interval.
++
++An overloaded link has a negative avgidle and if it gets too negative,
++CBQ throttles and is then 'overlimit'.
++
++Conversely, an idle link might amass a huge avgidle, which would then
++allow infinite bandwidths after a few hours of silence. To prevent
++this, avgidle is capped at 
++.B maxidle.
++
++If overlimit, in theory, the CBQ could throttle itself for exactly the
++amount of time that was calculated to pass between packets, and then
++pass one packet, and throttle again. Due to timer resolution constraints,
++this may not be feasible, see the 
++.B minburst
++parameter below.
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one CBQ instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, CBQ starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. 
++
++In the absence of uncommon configuration options, the process is rather easy. 
++At each node we look for an instruction, and then go to the class the 
++instruction refers us to. If the class found is a barren leaf-node (without 
++children), we enqueue the packet there. If it is not yet a leaf node, we do 
++the whole thing over again starting from that node. 
++
++The following actions are performed, in order at each node we visit, until one 
++sends us to another node, or terminates the process.
++.TP
++(i)
++Consult filters attached to the class. If sent to a leafnode, we are done. 
++Otherwise, restart.
++.TP
++(ii)
++Consult the defmap for the priority assigned to this packet, which depends 
++on the TOS bits. Check if the referral is leafless, otherwise restart.
++.TP
++(iii)
++Ask the defmap for instructions for the 'best effort' priority. Check the 
++answer for leafness, otherwise restart.
++.TP
++(iv)
++If none of the above returned with an instruction, enqueue at this node.
++.P
++This algorithm makes sure that a packet always ends up somewhere, even while
++you are busy building your configuration. 
++
++For more details, see
++.BR tc-cbq-details(8).
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++When dequeuing for sending to the network device, CBQ decides which of its 
++classes will be allowed to send. It does so with a Weighted Round Robin process
++in which each class with packets gets a chance to send in turn. The WRR process
++starts by asking the highest priority classes (lowest numerically - 
++highest semantically) for packets, and will continue to do so until they
++have no more data to offer, in which case the process repeats for lower 
++priorities.
++
++Classes by default borrow bandwidth from their siblings. A class can be 
++prevented from doing so by declaring it 'bounded'. A class can also indicate 
++its unwillingness to lend out bandwidth by being 'isolated'.
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root of a CBQ qdisc class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the CBQ instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP
++handle major:
++Like all other qdiscs, the CBQ can be assigned a handle. Should consist only
++of a major number, followed by a colon. Optional, but very useful if classes
++will be generated within this qdisc.
++.TP 
++allot bytes
++This allotment is the 'chunkiness' of link sharing and is used for determining packet
++transmission time tables. The qdisc allot differs slightly from the class allot discussed
++below. Optional. Defaults to a reasonable value, related to avpkt.
++.TP
++avpkt bytes
++The average size of a packet is needed for calculating maxidle, and is also used
++for making sure 'allot' has a safe value. Mandatory.
++.TP
++bandwidth rate
++To determine the idle time, CBQ must know the bandwidth of your underlying 
++physical interface, or parent qdisc. This is a vital parameter, more about it
++later. Mandatory.
++.TP
++cell
++The cell size determines he granularity of packet transmission time calculations. Has a sensible default.
++.TP 
++mpu
++A zero sized packet may still take time to transmit. This value is the lower
++cap for packet transmission time calculations - packets smaller than this value
++are still deemed to have this size. Defaults to zero.
++.TP
++ewma log
++When CBQ needs to measure the average idle time, it does so using an 
++Exponentially Weighted Moving Average which smoothes out measurements into
++a moving average. The EWMA LOG determines how much smoothing occurs. Lower 
++values imply greater sensitivity. Must be between 0 and 31. Defaults 
++to 5.
++.P
++A CBQ qdisc does not shape out of its own accord. It only needs to know certain
++parameters about the underlying link. Actual shaping is done in classes.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Classes have a host of parameters to configure their operation.
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor
++Place of this class within the hierarchy. If attached directly to a qdisc 
++and not to another class, minor can be omitted. Mandatory.
++.TP 
++classid major:minor
++Like qdiscs, classes can be named. The major number must be equal to the
++major number of the qdisc to which it belongs. Optional, but needed if this 
++class is going to have children.
++.TP 
++weight weight
++When dequeuing to the interface, classes are tried for traffic in a 
++round-robin fashion. Classes with a higher configured qdisc will generally
++have more traffic to offer during each round, so it makes sense to allow
++it to dequeue more traffic. All weights under a class are normalized, so
++only the ratios matter. Defaults to the configured rate, unless the priority 
++of this class is maximal, in which case it is set to 1.
++.TP 
++allot bytes
++Allot specifies how many bytes a qdisc can dequeue
++during each round of the process. This parameter is weighted using the 
++renormalized class weight described above. Silently capped at a minimum of
++3/2 avpkt. Mandatory.
++
++.TP 
++prio priority
++In the round-robin process, classes with the lowest priority field are tried 
++for packets first. Mandatory.
++
++.TP 
++avpkt
++See the QDISC section.
++
++.TP 
++rate rate
++Maximum rate this class and all its children combined can send at. Mandatory.
++
++.TP
++bandwidth rate
++This is different from the bandwidth specified when creating a CBQ disc! Only
++used to determine maxidle and offtime, which are only calculated when
++specifying maxburst or minburst. Mandatory if specifying maxburst or minburst.
++
++.TP 
++maxburst
++This number of packets is used to calculate maxidle so that when
++avgidle is at maxidle, this number of average packets can be burst
++before avgidle drops to 0. Set it higher to be more tolerant of
++bursts. You can't set maxidle directly, only via this parameter.
++
++.TP
++minburst 
++As mentioned before, CBQ needs to throttle in case of
++overlimit. The ideal solution is to do so for exactly the calculated
++idle time, and pass 1 packet. However, Unix kernels generally have a
++hard time scheduling events shorter than 10ms, so it is better to
++throttle for a longer period, and then pass minburst packets in one
++go, and then sleep minburst times longer.
++
++The time to wait is called the offtime. Higher values of minburst lead
++to more accurate shaping in the long term, but to bigger bursts at
++millisecond timescales. Optional.
++
++.TP
++minidle
++If avgidle is below 0, we are overlimits and need to wait until
++avgidle will be big enough to send one packet. To prevent a sudden
++burst from shutting down the link for a prolonged period of time,
++avgidle is reset to minidle if it gets too low.
++
++Minidle is specified in negative microseconds, so 10 means that
++avgidle is capped at -10us. Optional.
++
++.TP
++bounded 
++Signifies that this class will not borrow bandwidth from its siblings.
++.TP 
++isolated
++Means that this class will not borrow bandwidth to its siblings
++
++.TP 
++split major:minor & defmap bitmap[/bitmap]
++If consulting filters attached to a class did not give a verdict, 
++CBQ can also classify based on the packet's priority. There are 16
++priorities available, numbered from 0 to 15. 
++
++The defmap specifies which priorities this class wants to receive, 
++specified as a bitmap. The Least Significant Bit corresponds to priority 
++zero. The 
++.B split
++parameter tells CBQ at which class the decision must be made, which should
++be a (grand)parent of the class you are adding.
++
++As an example, 'tc class add ... classid 10:1 cbq .. split 10:0 defmap c0'
++configures class 10:0 to send packets with priorities 6 and 7 to 10:1.
++
++The complimentary configuration would then 
++be: 'tc class add ... classid 10:2 cbq ... split 10:0 defmap 3f'
++Which would send all packets 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to 10:1.
++.TP
++estimator interval timeconstant
++CBQ can measure how much bandwidth each class is using, which tc filters
++can use to classify packets with. In order to determine the bandwidth
++it uses a very simple estimator that measures once every
++.B interval
++microseconds how much traffic has passed. This again is a EWMA, for which
++the time constant can be specified, also in microseconds. The 
++.B time constant
++corresponds to the sluggishness of the measurement or, conversely, to the 
++sensitivity of the average to short bursts. Higher values mean less
++sensitivity. 
++
++.SH BUGS
++The actual bandwidth of the underlying link may not be known, for example 
++in the case of PPoE or PPTP connections which in fact may send over a 
++pipe, instead of over a physical device. CBQ is quite resilient to major
++errors in the configured bandwidth, probably a the cost of coarser shaping.
++
++Default kernels rely on coarse timing information for making decisions. These 
++may make shaping precise in the long term, but inaccurate on second long scales.
++
++See 
++.BR tc-cbq-details(8)
++for hints on how to improve this.

++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++HTB is meant as a more understandable and intuitive replacement for
++the CBQ qdisc in Linux. Both CBQ and HTB help you to control the use
++of the outbound bandwidth on a given link. Both allow you to use one
++physical link to simulate several slower links and to send different
++kinds of traffic on different simulated links. In both cases, you have
++to specify how to divide the physical link into simulated links and
++how to decide which simulated link to use for a given packet to be sent. 
++
++Unlike CBQ, HTB shapes traffic based on the Token Bucket Filter algorithm 
++which does not depend on interface characteristics and so does not need to
++know the underlying bandwidth of the outgoing interface.
++
++.SH SHAPING ALGORITHM
++Shaping works as documented in
++.B tc-tbf (8).
++
++.SH CLASSIFICATION
++Within the one HRB instance many classes may exist. Each of these classes
++contains another qdisc, by default 
++.BR tc-pfifo (8).
++
++When enqueueing a packet, HTB starts at the root and uses various methods to 
++determine which class should receive the data. 
++
++In the absence of uncommon configuration options, the process is rather easy. 
++At each node we look for an instruction, and then go to the class the 
++instruction refers us to. If the class found is a barren leaf-node (without

++Consult filters attached to the class. If sent to a leafnode, we are done. 
++Otherwise, restart.

++(ii)
++If none of the above returned with an instruction, enqueue at this node.
++.P
++This algorithm makes sure that a packet always ends up somewhere, even while
++you are busy building your configuration. 
++
++.SH LINK SHARING ALGORITHM
++FIXME
++
++.SH QDISC
++The root of a CBQ qdisc class tree has the following parameters:
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor | root
++This mandatory parameter determines the place of the CBQ instance, either at the
++.B root
++of an interface or within an existing class.
++.TP

++Like all other qdiscs, the CBQ can be assigned a handle. Should consist only

++default minor-id
++Unclassified traffic gets sent to the class with this minor-id.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Classes have a host of parameters to configure their operation.
++
++.TP 
++parent major:minor
++Place of this class within the hierarchy. If attached directly to a qdisc 
++and not to another class, minor can be omitted. Mandatory.
++.TP 
++classid major:minor
++Like qdiscs, classes can be named. The major number must be equal to the

++class is going to have children.
++.TP 
++prio priority
++In the round-robin process, classes with the lowest priority field are tried 
++for packets first. Mandatory.
++
++.TP 
++rate rate
++Maximum rate this class and all its children are guaranteed. Mandatory.
++
++.TP
++ceil rate
++Maximum rate at which a class can send, if its parent has bandwidth to spare. 
++Defaults to the configured rate, which implies no borrowing
++
++.TP 
++burst bytes
++Amount of bytes that can be burst at 
++.B ceil
++speed, in excess of the configured
++.B rate. 
++Should be at least as high as the highest burst of all children.
++
++.TP 
++cburst bytes
++Amount of bytes that can be burst at 'infinite' speed, in other words, as fast
++as the interface can transmit them. For perfect evening out, should be equal to at most one average
++packet. Should be at least as high as the highest cburst of all children.
++
++.SH NOTES
++Due to Unix timing constraints, the maximum ceil rate is not infinite and may in fact be quite low. On Intel, 
++there are 100 timer events per second, the maximum rate is that rate at which 'burst' bytes are sent each timer tick.
++From this, the mininum burst size for a specified rate can be calculated. For i386, a 10mbit rate requires a 12 kilobyte 
++burst as 100*12kb*8 equals 10mbit.

++
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... add pfifo
++.B [ limit

++.B ]
++.P
++.B tc qdisc ... add bfifo
++.B [ limit 
++bytes
++.B ]
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++The pfifo and bfifo qdiscs are unadorned First In, First Out queues. They are the
++simplest queues possible and therefore have no overhead. 
++.B pfifo
++constrains the queue size as measured in packets. 
++.B bfifo
++does so as measured in bytes.
++
++Like all non-default qdiscs, they maintain statistics. This might be a reason to prefer 
++pfifo or bfifo over the default.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++A list of packets is maintained, when a packet is enqueued it gets inserted at the tail of
++a list. When a packet needs to be sent out to the network, it is taken from the head of the list. 
++
++If the list is too long, no further packets are allowed on. This is called 'tail drop'.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++limit
++Maximum queue size. Specified in bytes for bfifo, in packets for pfifo. For pfifo, defaults 
++to the interface txqueuelen, as specified with 
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or
++.BR ip (8).
++
++For bfifo, it defaults to the txqueuelen multiplied by the interface MTU.
++
++.SH OUTPUT
++The output of 
++.B tc -s qdisc ls
++contains the limit, either in packets or in bytes, and the number of bytes 
++and packets actually sent. An unsent and dropped packet only appears between braces 
++and is not counted as 'Sent'.
++
++In this example, the queue length is 100 packets, 45894 bytes were sent over 681 packets. 
++No packets were dropped, and as the pfifo queue does not slow down packets, there were also no
++overlimits:
++.P
++.nf
++# tc -s qdisc ls dev eth0 
++qdisc pfifo 8001: dev eth0 limit 100p
++ Sent 45894 bytes 681 pkts (dropped 0, overlimits 0) 
++.fi
++
++If a backlog occurs, this is displayed as well.

++.TH PFIFO_FAST 8 "10 January 2002" "iproute2" "Linux"
++.SH NAME
++pfifo_fast \- three-band first in, first out queue
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++pfifo_fast is the default qdisc of each interface.
++
++Whenever an interface is created, the pfifo_fast qdisc is automatically used
++as a queue. If another qdisc is attached, it preempts the default
++pfifo_fast, which automatically returns to function when an existing qdisc
++is detached.
++
++In this sense this qdisc is magic, and unlike other qdiscs.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++The algorithm is very similar to that of the classful 
++.BR tc-prio (8)
++qdisc. 
++.B pfifo_fast
++is like three
++.BR tc-pfifo (8)
++queues side by side, where packets can be enqueued in any of the three bands
++based on their Type of Service bits or assigned priority. 
++
++Not all three bands are dequeued simultaneously - as long as lower bands
++have traffic, higher bands are never dequeued. This can be used to
++prioritize interactive traffic or penalize 'lowest cost' traffic.
++
++Each band can be txqueuelen packets long, as configured with
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or 
++.BR ip (8).
++Additional packets coming in are not enqueued but are instead dropped.
++
++See
++.BR tc-prio (8)
++for complete details on how TOS bits are translated into bands.
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++txqueuelen
++The length of the three bands depends on the interface txqueuelen, as
++specified with
++.BR ifconfig (8)
++or
++.BR ip (8).
++
++.SH BUGS
++Does not maintain statistics and does not show up in tc qdisc ls. This is because
++it is the automatic default in the absence of a configured qdisc.

++.SH NAME
++PRIO \- Priority qdisc
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... dev
++dev
++.B  ( parent
++classid 
++.B | root) [ handle 
++major: 
++.B ] prio [ bands 
++bands
++.B ] [ priomap

++.B ] [ estimator 
++interval timeconstant
++.B ]
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++The PRIO qdisc is a simple classful queueing discipline that contains
++an arbitrary number of classes of differing priority. The classes are
++dequeued in numerical descending order of priority. PRIO is a scheduler 
++and never delays packets - it is a work-conserving qdisc, though the qdiscs
++contained in the classes may not be.
++
++Very useful for lowering latency when there is no need for slowing down
++traffic.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++On creation with 'tc qdisc add', a fixed number of bands is created. Each
++band is a class, although is not possible to add classes with 'tc qdisc
++add', the number of bands to be created must instead be specified on the
++commandline attaching PRIO to its root.
++
++When dequeueing, band 0 is tried first and only if it did not deliver a
++packet does PRIO try band 1, and so onwards. Maximum reliability packets
++should therefore go to band 0, minimum delay to band 1 and the rest to band
++2.
++
++As the PRIO qdisc itself will have minor number 0, band 0 is actually
++major:1, band 1 is major:2, etc. For major, substitute the major number
++assigned to the qdisc on 'tc qdisc add' with the
++.B handle
++parameter.

++Three methods are available to PRIO to determine in which band a packet will
++be enqueued.
++.TP
++From userspace
++A process with sufficient privileges can encode the destination class
++directly with SO_PRIORITY, see
++.BR tc(7).
++.TP 
++with a tc filter
++A tc filter attached to the root qdisc can point traffic directly to a class
++.TP 
++with the priomap
++Based on the packet priority, which in turn is derived from the Type of
++Service assigned to the packet.
++.P
++Only the priomap is specific to this qdisc. 
++.SH QDISC PARAMETERS
++.TP
++bands
++Number of bands. If changed from the default of 3,
++.B priomap

++The priomap maps the priority of

++or be derived from the Type of Service of the packet.
++
++Determines how packet priorities, as assigned by the kernel, map to
++bands. Mapping occurs based on the TOS octet of the packet, which looks like

++
++The second column contains the value of the relevant
++four TOS bits, followed by their translated meaning. For example, 15 stands
++for a packet wanting Minimal Montetary Cost, Maximum Reliability, Maximum
++Throughput AND Minimum Delay. 
++
++The fourth column lists the way the Linux kernel interprets the TOS bits, by
++showing to which Priority they are mapped.
++
++The last column shows the result of the default priomap. On the commandline,
++the default priomap looks like this:
++
++    1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 0, 0 , 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
++
++This means that priority 4, for example, gets mapped to band number 1.
++The priomap also allows you to list higher priorities (> 7) which do not
++correspond to TOS mappings, but which are set by other means.
++

++bytes
++.B min 
++bytes 
++.B max 
++bytes 
++.B avpkt
++bytes
++.B burst

++chance
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Random Early Detection is a classless qdisc which manages its queue size
++smartly. Regular queues simply drop packets from the tail when they are
++full, which may not be the optimal behaviour. RED also performs tail drop,
++but does so in a more gradual way.
++
++Once the queue hits a certain average length, packets enqueued have a
++configurable chance of being marked (which may mean dropped). This chance
++increases linearly up to a point called the
++.B max
++average queue length, although the queue might get bigger.
++
++This has a host of benefits over simple taildrop, while not being processor
++intensive. It prevents synchronous retransmits after a burst in traffic,
++which cause further retransmits, etc.
++
++The goal is the have a small queue size, which is good for interactivity
++while not disturbing TCP/IP traffic with too many sudden drops after a burst
++of traffic.
++
++Depending on 08 ECN is configured, marking either means dropping or
++purely marking a packet as overlimit.
++.SH ALGORITHM
++The average queue size is used for determining the marking
++probability. This is calculated using an Exponential Weighted Moving
++Average, which can be more or less sensitive to bursts.
++
++When the average queue size is below 
++.B min
++bytes, no packet will ever be marked. When it exceeds 
++.B min, 
++the probability of doing so climbs linearly up
++to 
++.B probability, 
++until the average queue size hits
++.B max
++bytes. Because 
++.B probability 
++is normally not set to 100%, the queue size might
++conceivably rise above 
++.B max
++bytes, so the 
++.B limit
++parameter is provided to set a hard maximum for the size of the queue.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++min
++Average queue size at which marking becomes a possibility.
++.TP 
++max
++At this average queue size, the marking probability is maximal. Should be at
++least twice
++.B min
++to prevent synchronous retransmits, higher for low 
++.B min.
++.TP 
++probability
++Maximum probability for marking, specified as a floating point
++number from 0.0 to 1.0. Suggested values are 0.01 or 0.02 (1 or 2%,
++respectively).
++.TP 
++limit
++Hard limit on the real (not average) queue size in bytes. Further packets
++are dropped. Should be set higher than max+burst. It is advised to set this
++a few times higher than 
++.B max.
++.TP
++burst
++Used for determining how fast the average queue size is influenced by the
++real queue size. Larger values make the calculation more sluggish, allowing
++longer bursts of traffic before marking starts. Real life experiments
++support the following guideline: (min+min+max)/(3*avpkt).
++.TP 
++avpkt
++Specified in bytes. Used with burst to determine the time constant for
++average queue size calculations. 1000 is a good value.
++.TP
++bandwidth
++This rate is used for calculating the average queue size after some
++idle time. Should be set to the bandwidth of your interface. Does not mean
++that RED will shape for you! Optional.
++.TP
++ecn
++As mentioned before, RED can either 'mark' or 'drop'. Explicit Congestion
++Notification allows RED to notify remote hosts that their rate exceeds the
++amount of bandwidth available. Non-ECN capable hosts can only be notified by
++dropping a packet.  If this parameter is specified, packets which indicate
++that their hosts honor ECN will only be marked and not dropped, unless the
++queue size hits
++.B limit
++bytes. Needs a tc binary with RED support compiled in. Recommended.

++.SH NAME
++sfq \- Stochastic Fairness Queueing
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B tc qdisc ... perturb
++seconds
++.B quantum
++bytes
++
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++
++Stochastic Fairness Queueing is a classless queueing discipline available for
++traffic control with the 
++.BR tc (8)
++command.
++
++SFQ does not shape traffic but only schedules the transmission of packets, based on 'flows'. 
++The goal is to ensure fairness so that each flow is able to send data in turn, thus preventing
++any single flow from drowning out the rest.
++
++This may in fact have some effect in mitigating a Denial of Service attempt.
++
++SFQ is work-conserving and therefore always delivers a packet if it has one available.
++.SH ALGORITHM
++On enqueueing, each packet is assigned to a hash bucket, based on
++.TP
++(i)
++Source address
++.TP
++(ii)
++Destination address
++.TP
++(iii)
++Source port
++.P
++If these are available. SFQ knows about ipv4 and ipv6 and also UDP, TCP and ESP. 
++Packets with other protocols are hashed based on the 32bits representation of their 
++destination and the socket they belong to. A flow corresponds mostly to a TCP/IP 
++connection.
++
++Each of these buckets should represent a unique flow. Because multiple flows may
++get hashed to the same bucket, the hashing algorithm is perturbed at configurable 
++intervals so that the unfairness lasts only for a short while. Perturbation may 
++however cause some inadvertent packet reordering to occur.
++
++When dequeuing, each hashbucket with data is queried in a round robin fashion.
++
++The compile time maximum length of the SFQ is 128 packets, which can be spread over
++at most 128 buckets of 1024 available. In case of overflow, tail-drop is performed
++on the fullest bucket, thus maintaining fairness.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++.TP 
++perturb
++Interval in seconds for queue algorithm perturbation. Defaults to 0, which means that 
++no perturbation occurs. Do not set too low for each perturbation may cause some packet
++reordering. Advised value: 10
++.TP 
++quantum
++Amount of bytes a flow is allowed to dequeue during a round of the round robin process.
++Defaults to the MTU of the interface which is also the advised value and the minimum value.
++
++.SH EXAMPLE & USAGE
++
++To attach to device ppp0:
++.P
++# tc qdisc add dev ppp0 root sfq perturb 10
++.P
++Please note that SFQ, like all non-shaping (work-conserving) qdiscs, is only useful 
++if it owns the queue.
++This is the case when the link speed equals the actually available bandwidth. This holds 
++for regular phone modems, ISDN connections and direct non-switched ethernet links. 
++.P
++Most often, cable modems and DSL devices do not fall into this category. The same holds 
++for when connected to a switch  and trying to send data to a congested segment also 
++connected to the switch.
++.P
++In this case, the effective queue does not reside within Linux and is therefore not 
++available for scheduling.
++.P
++Embed SFQ in a classful qdisc to make sure it owns the queue.

++.B ] ]
++.P
++burst is also known as buffer and maxburst. mtu is also known as minburst.
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++
++The Token Bucket Filter is a classless queueing discipline available for
++traffic control with the 
++.BR tc (8)
++command.
++
++TBF is a pure shaper and never schedules traffic. It is non-work-conserving and may throttle
++itself, although packets are available, to ensure that the configured rate is not exceeded. 
++On all platforms except for Alpha,
++it is able to shape up to 1mbit/s of normal traffic with ideal minimal burstiness, 
++sending out  data exactly at the configured rates. 
++
++Much higher rates are possible but at the cost of losing the minimal burstiness. In that
++case, data is on average dequeued at the configured rate but may be sent much faster at millisecond 
++timescales. Because of further queues living in network adaptors, this is often not a problem.
++
++Kernels with a higher 'HZ' can achieve higher rates with perfect burstiness. On Alpha, HZ is ten
++times higher, leading to a 10mbit/s limit to perfection. These calculations hold for packets of on 
++average 1000 bytes.
++
++.SH ALGORITHM
++As the name implies, traffic is filtered based on the expenditure of 
++.B tokens.
++Tokens roughly correspond to bytes, with the additional constraint that each packet consumes
++some tokens, no matter how small it is. This reflects the fact that even a zero-sized packet occupies
++the link for some time.
++
++On creation, the TBF is stocked with tokens which correspond to the amount of traffic that can be burst 
++in one go. Tokens arrive at a steady rate, until the bucket is full.
++
++If no tokens are available, packets are queued, up to a configured limit. The TBF now 
++calculates the token deficit, and throttles until the first packet in the queue can be sent.
++
++If it is not acceptable to burst out packets at maximum speed, a peakrate can be configured 
++to limit the speed at which the bucket empties. This peakrate is implemented as a second TBF
++with a very small bucket, so that it doesn't burst.
++
++To achieve perfection, the second bucket may contain only a single packet, which leads to 
++the earlier mentioned 1mbit/s limit. 
++
++This limit is caused by the fact that the kernel can only throttle for at minimum 1 'jiffy', which depends
++on HZ as 1/HZ. For perfect shaping, only a single packet can get sent per jiffy - for HZ=100, this means 100 
++packets of on average 1000 bytes each, which roughly corresponds to 1mbit/s.
++
++.SH PARAMETERS
++See 
++.BR tc (8)
++for how to specify the units of these values.
++.TP
++limit or latency
++Limit is the number of bytes that can be queued waiting for tokens to become
++available. You can also specify this the other way around by setting the
++latency parameter, which specifies the maximum amount of time a packet can
++sit in the TBF. The latter calculation takes into account the size of the
++bucket, the rate and possibly the peakrate (if set). These two parameters
++are mutually exclusive. 
++.TP
++burst
++Also known as buffer or maxburst.
++Size of the bucket, in bytes. This is the maximum amount of bytes that tokens can be available for instantaneously. 
++In general, larger shaping rates require a larger buffer. For 10mbit/s on Intel, you need at least 10kbyte buffer 
++if you want to reach your configured rate!
++
++If your buffer is too small, packets may be dropped because more tokens arrive per timer tick than fit in your bucket.
++The minimum buffer size can be calculated by dividing the rate by HZ.
++
++Token usage calculations are performed using a table which by default has a resolution of 8 packets. 
++This resolution can be changed by specifying the 
++.B cell
++size with the burst. For example, to specify a 6000 byte buffer with a 16
++byte cell size, set a burst of 6000/16. You will probably never have to set
++this. Must be an integral power of 2.
++.TP
++mpu
++A zero-sized packet does not use zero bandwidth. For ethernet, no packet uses less than 64 bytes. The Minimum Packet Unit 
++determines the minimal token usage (specified in bytes) for a packet. Defaults to zero.
++.TP
++rate
++The speed knob. See remarks above about limits! See 
++.BR tc (8)
++for units.
++.PP
++Furthermore, if a peakrate is desired, the following parameters are available:
++
++.TP
++peakrate
++Maximum depletion rate of the bucket. Limited to 1mbit/s on Intel, 10mbit/s on Alpha. The peakrate does 
++not need to be set, it is only necessary if perfect millisecond timescale shaping is required.
++
++.TP
++mtu/minburst
++Specifies the size of the peakrate bucket. For perfect accuracy, should be set to the MTU of the interface.
++If a peakrate is needed, but some burstiness is acceptable, this size can be raised. A 3000 byte minburst
++allows around 3mbit/s of peakrate, given 1000 byte packets.
++
++Like the regular burstsize you can also specify a 
++.B cell
++size.
++.SH EXAMPLE & USAGE
++
++To attach a TBF with a sustained maximum rate of 0.5mbit/s, a peakrate of 1.0mbit/s,
++a 5kilobyte buffer, with a pre-bucket queue size limit calculated so the TBF causes
++at most 70ms of latency, with perfect peakrate behaviour, issue:
++.P
++# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 0.5mbit \\
++  burst 5kb latency 70ms peakrate 1mbit       \\
++  minburst 1540

++.SH DESCRIPTION
++.B Tc
++is used to configure Traffic Control in the Linux kernel. Traffic Control consists 
++of the following:
++
++.TP 
++SHAPING
++When traffic is shaped, its rate of transmission is under control. Shaping may 
++be more than lowering the available bandwidth - it is also used to smooth out 
++bursts in traffic for better network behaviour. Shaping occurs on egress.
++
++.TP 
++SCHEDULING
++By scheduling the transmission of packets it is possible to improve interactivity
++for traffic that needs it while still guaranteeing bandwidth to bulk transfers. Reordering
++is also called prioritizing, and happens only on egress.
++
++.TP
++POLICING
++Where shaping deals with transmission of traffic, policing pertains to traffic
++arriving. Policing thus occurs on ingress.
++
++.TP
++DROPPING
++Traffic exceeding a set bandwidth may also be dropped forthwith, both on 
++ingress and on egress.
++
++.P
++Processing of traffic is controlled by three kinds of objects: qdiscs, 
++classes and filters. 
++
++.SH QDISCS
++.B qdisc 
++is short for 'queueing discipline' and it is elementary to 
++understanding traffic control. Whenever the kernel needs to send a 
++packet to an interface, it is 
++.B enqueued
++to the qdisc configured for that interface. Immediately afterwards, the kernel
++tries to get as many packets as possible from the qdisc, for giving them
++to the network adaptor driver.

++A simple QDISC is the 'pfifo' one, which does no processing at all and is a pure 
++First In, First Out queue. It does however store traffic when the network interface
++can't handle it momentarily.
++
++.SH CLASSES
++Some qdiscs can contain classes, which contain further qdiscs - traffic may 
++then be enqueued in any of the inner qdiscs, which are within the
++.B classes.
++When the kernel tries to dequeue a packet from such a 
++.B classful qdisc
++it can come from any of the classes. A qdisc may for example prioritize 
++certain kinds of traffic by trying to dequeue from certain classes
++before others.
++
++.SH FILTERS
++A
++.B filter
++is used by a classful qdisc to determine in which class a packet will
++be enqueued. Whenever traffic arrives at a class with subclasses, it needs
++to be classified. Various methods may be employed to do so, one of these
++are the filters. All filters attached to the class are called, until one of 
++them returns with a verdict. If no verdict was made, other criteria may be 
++available. This differs per qdisc.
++
++It is important to notice that filters reside 
++.B within
++qdiscs - they are not masters of what happens.
++
++.SH CLASSLESS QDISCS
++The classless qdiscs are:
++.TP 
++[p|b]fifo
++Simplest usable qdisc, pure First In, First Out behaviour. Limited in 
++packets or in bytes.
++.TP
++pfifo_fast
++Standard qdisc for 'Advanced Router' enabled kernels. Consists of a three-band
++queue which honors Type of Service flags, as well as the priority that may be 
++assigned to a packet.
++.TP
++red
++Random Early Detection simulates physical congestion by randomly dropping
++packets when nearing configured bandwidth allocation. Well suited to very
++large bandwidth applications.
++.TP 
++sfq
++Stochastic Fairness Queueing reorders queued traffic so each 'session'
++gets to send a packet in turn.
++.TP
++tbf
++The Token Bucket Filter is suited for slowing traffic down to a precisely
++configured rate. Scales well to large bandwidths. 
++.SH CONFIGURING CLASSLESS QDISCS
++In the absence of classful qdiscs, classless qdiscs can only be attached at 
++the root of a device. Full syntax:
++.P
++.B tc qdisc add dev 
++DEV 
++.B root 
++QDISC QDISC-PARAMETERS
++
++To remove, issue
++.P
++.B tc qdisc del dev
++DEV
++.B root
++
++The  
++.B pfifo_fast
++qdisc is the automatic default in the absence of a configured qdisc.
++
++.SH CLASSFUL QDISCS
++The classful qdiscs are:
++.TP
++CBQ
++Class Based Queueing implements a rich linksharing hierarchy of classes. 
++It contains shaping elements as well as prioritizing capabilities. Shaping is
++performed using link idle time calculations based on average packet size and
++underlying link bandwidth. The latter may be ill-defined for some interfaces.
++.TP
++HTB
++The Hierarchy Token Bucket implements a rich linksharing hierarchy of 
++classes with an emphasis on conforming to existing practices. HTB facilitates
++guaranteeing bandwidth to classes, while also allowing specification of upper
++limits to inter-class sharing. It contains shaping elements, based on TBF and
++can prioritize classes.	
++.TP 
++PRIO
++The PRIO qdisc is a non-shaping container for a configurable number of 
++classes which are dequeued in order. This allows for easy prioritization 
++of traffic, where lower classes are only able to send if higher ones have 
++no packets available. To facilitate configuration, Type Of Service bits are 
++honored by default.
++.SH THEORY OF OPERATION
++Classes form a tree, where each class has a single parent. 
++A class may have multiple children. Some qdiscs allow for runtime addition
++of classes (CBQ, HTB) while others (PRIO) are created with a static number of 
++children.
++
++Qdiscs which allow dynamic addition of classes can have zero or more 
++subclasses to which traffic may be enqueued. 
++
++Furthermore, each class contains a
++.B leaf qdisc
++which by default has 
++.B pfifo 
++behaviour though another qdisc can be attached in place. This qdisc may again 
++contain classes, but each class can have only one leaf qdisc. 
++
++When a packet enters a classful qdisc it can be 
++.B classified
++to one of the classes within. Three criteria are available, although not all 
++qdiscs will use all three:
++.TP 
++tc filters
++If tc filters are attached to a class, they are consulted first 
++for relevant instructions. Filters can match on all fields of a packet header, 
++as well as on the firewall mark applied by ipchains or iptables. See 
++.BR tc-filters (8).
++.TP
++Type of Service
++Some qdiscs have built in rules for classifying packets based on the TOS field.
++.TP
++skb->priority
++Userspace programs can encode a class-id in the 'skb->priority' field using 
++the SO_PRIORITY option.
++.P
++Each node within the tree can have its own filters but higher level filters
++may also point directly to lower classes.
++
++If classification did not succeed, packets are enqueued to the leaf qdisc 
++attached to that class. Check qdisc specific manpages for details, however.
++
++.SH NAMING
++All qdiscs, classes and filters have IDs, which can either be specified
++or be automatically assigned. 
++
++IDs consist of a major number and a minor number, separated by a colon.
++
++.TP 
++QDISCS
++A qdisc, which potentially can have children, 
++gets assigned a major number, called a 'handle', leaving the minor 
++number namespace available for classes. The handle is expressed as '10:'. 
++It is customary to explicitly assign a handle to qdiscs expected to have 
++children.
++
++.TP 
++CLASSES
++Classes residing under a qdisc share their qdisc major number, but each have
++a separate minor number called a 'classid' that has no relation to their 
++parent classes, only to their parent qdisc. The same naming custom as for 
++qdiscs applies.
++
++.TP 
++FILTERS
++Filters have a three part ID, which is only needed when using a hashed
++filter hierarchy, for which see
++.BR tc-filters (8).
++.SH UNITS
++All parameters accept a floating point number, possibly followed by a unit.
++.P
++Bandwidths or rates can be specified in:
++.TP 
++kbps
++Kilobytes per second
++.TP
++mbps
++Megabytes per second
++.TP
++kbit
++Kilobits per second
++.TP
++mbit
++Megabits per second
++.TP
++bps or a bare number
++Bits per second
++.P
++Amounts of data can be specified in:
++.TP
++kb or k
++Kilobytes
++.TP
++mb or m
++Megabytes
++.TP
++mbit
++Megabits
++.TP
++kbit
++Kilobits
++.TP
++b or a bare number
++Bytes.
++.P
++Lengths of time can be specified in:
++.TP
++s, sec or secs
++Whole seconds
++.TP
++ms, msec or msecs
++Milliseconds
++.TP
++us, usec, usecs or a bare number
++Microseconds.
++
++.SH TC COMMANDS
++The following commands are available for qdiscs, classes and filter:
++.TP
++add
++Add a qdisc, class or filter to a node. For all entities, a 
++.B parent
++must be passed, either by passing its ID or by attaching directly to the root of a device. 
++When creating a qdisc or a filter, it can be named with the
++.B handle
++parameter. A class is named with the
++.B classid
++parameter.
++
++.TP
++remove
++A qdisc can be removed by specifying its handle, which may also be 'root'. All subclasses and their leaf qdiscs 
++are automatically deleted, as well as any filters attached to them.
++
++.TP
++change
++Some entities can be modified 'in place'. Shares the syntax of 'add', with the exception
++that the handle cannot be changed and neither can the parent. In other words, 
++.B
++change 
++cannot move a node.
++
++.TP
++replace
++Performs a nearly atomic remove/add on an existing node id. If the node does not exist yet
++it is created.
++
++.TP
++link
++Only available for qdiscs and performs a replace where the node 
++must exist already.
