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.

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.

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 SOURCES ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson, "Link-sharing and Resource ++Management Models for Packet Networks", ++IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, Vol.3, No.4, 1995 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd, "Notes on CBQ and Guarantee Service", 1995 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd, "Notes on Class-Based Queueing: Setting ++Parameters", 1996 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd and Michael Speer, "Experimental Results ++for Class-Based Queueing", 1998, not published. ++ ++ ++ ++.SH SEE ALSO ++.BR tc (8) ++ ++.SH AUTHOR ++Alexey N.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 SOURCES ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson, "Link-sharing and Resource ++Management Models for Packet Networks", ++IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, Vol.3, No.4, 1995 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd, "Notes on CBQ and Guarantee Service", 1995 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd, "Notes on Class-Based Queueing: Setting ++Parameters", 1996 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd and Michael Speer, "Experimental Results ++for Class-Based Queueing", 1998, not published. ++ ++ ++ ++.SH SEE ALSO ++.BR tc (8) ++ ++.SH AUTHOR ++Alexey N.

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.

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.

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.

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 SEE ALSO ++.BR tc (8) ++ ++.SH AUTHOR ++Alexey N.

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.

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 SOURCES ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson, "Link-sharing and Resource ++Management Models for Packet Networks", ++IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, Vol.3, No.4, 1995 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd, "Notes on CBQ and Guaranteed Service", 1995 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd, "Notes on Class-Based Queueing: Setting ++Parameters", 1996 ++ ++.TP ++o ++Sally Floyd and Michael Speer, "Experimental Results ++for Class-Based Queueing", 1998, not published. ++ ++ ++ ++.SH SEE ALSO ++.BR tc (8) ++ ++.SH AUTHOR ++Alexey N.

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.

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.

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 SEE ALSO ++.BR tc (8) ++ ++.SH AUTHOR ++Alexey N.

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'.
