8 ---help---
9 When the kernel has several packets to send out over a network
10 device, it has to decide which ones to send first, which ones to
11 delay, and which ones to drop. This is the job of the queueing
12 disciplines, several different algorithms for how to do this
13 "fairly" have been proposed.
14
15 If you say N here, you will get the standard packet scheduler, which
16 is a FIFO (first come, first served). If you say Y here, you will be
17 able to choose from among several alternative algorithms which can
18 then be attached to different network devices. This is useful for
19 example if some of your network devices are real time devices that
20 need a certain minimum data flow rate, or if you need to limit the
21 maximum data flow rate for traffic which matches specified criteria.
22 This code is considered to be experimental.
23
24 To administer these schedulers, you'll need the user-level utilities
25 from the package iproute2+tc at
26 <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/>. That package
27 also contains some documentation; for more, check out
28 <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/iproute2>.
29
30 This Quality of Service (QoS) support will enable you to use
31 Differentiated Services (diffserv) and Resource Reservation Protocol
32 (RSVP) on your Linux router if you also say Y to the corresponding
33 classifiers below. Documentation and software is at
34 <http://diffserv.sourceforge.net/>.
35
36 If you say Y here and to "/proc file system" below, you will be able
37 to read status information about packet schedulers from the file
38 /proc/net/psched.
39
40 The available schedulers are listed in the following questions; you
41 can say Y to as many as you like. If unsure, say N now.

326 This queuing discipline allows userspace to plug/unplug a network
327 output queue, using the netlink interface. When it receives an
328 enqueue command it inserts a plug into the outbound queue that
329 causes following packets to enqueue until a dequeue command arrives
330 over netlink, causing the plug to be removed and resuming the normal
331 packet flow.
332
333 This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
334 functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
335 command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.

337 of virtual machines by allowing the generated network output to be rolled
338 back if needed.
