This is the job of the queueing disciplines, several different algorithms for how to do this "fairly" have been proposed. If you say N here, you will get the standard packet scheduler, which is a FIFO (first come, first served). If you say Y here, you will be able to choose from among several alternative algorithms which can then be attached to different network devices. This is useful for example if some of your network devices are real time devices that need a certain minimum data flow rate, or if you need to limit the maximum data flow rate for traffic which matches specified criteria. This code is considered to be experimental. To administer these schedulers, you'll need the user-level utilities from the package iproute2+tc at . That package also contains some documentation; for more, check out . This Quality of Service (QoS) support will enable you to use Differentiated Services (diffserv) and Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) on your Linux router if you also say Y to the corresponding classifiers below. Documentation and software is at . comment "Queueing/Scheduling" config ADK_KPACKAGE_KMOD_NET_SCH_CBQ prompt "Class Based Queueing (CBQ)" tristate select ADK_KERNEL_NET_SCHED default n help Say Y here if you want to use the Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) packet scheduling algorithm. This algorithm classifies the waiting packets into a tree-like hierarchy of classes; the leaves of this tree are in turn scheduled by separate algorithms. See the top of for more details. CBQ is a commonly used scheduler, so if you're unsure, you should say Y here. Then say Y to all the queueing algorithms below that you want to use as leaf disciplines. config ADK_KPACKAGE_KMOD_NET_SCH_HTB prompt "Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB)" tristate select ADK_KERNEL_NET_SCHED default n help Say Y here if you want to use the Hierarchical Token Buckets (HTB) packet scheduling algorithm.
