An implementation of CoDel AQM, from Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson.
http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336
This AQM main input is no longer queue size in bytes or packets, but the
delay packets stay in (FIFO) queue.
As we don't have infinite memory, we still can drop packets in enqueue()
in case of massive load, but mean of CoDel is to drop packets in
dequeue(), using a control law based on two simple parameters :
target : target sojourn time (default 5ms)
interval : width of moving time window (default 100ms)
Selected packets are dropped, unless ECN is enabled and packets can get
ECN mark instead.
Usage: tc qdisc ... codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ target TIME ]
[ interval TIME ] [ ecn ]
qdisc codel 10: parent 1:1 limit 2000p target 3.0ms interval 60.0ms ecn
Sent 13347099587 bytes 8815805 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
rate 202365Kbit 16708pps backlog 113550b 75p requeues 0
count 116 lastcount 98 ldelay 4.3ms dropping drop_next 816us
maxpacket 1514 ecn_mark 84399 drop_overlimit 0
CoDel must be seen as a base module, and should be used keeping in mind
there is still a FIFO queue. So a typical setup will probably need a
hierarchy of several qdiscs and packet classifiers to be able to meet
whatever constraints a user might have.
One possible example would be to use fq_codel, which combines Fair
Queueing and CoDel, in replacement of sfq / sfq_red.

--------------------------
* Compile time switches
There is only one, but very important, compile time switch.
It is not settable by "make config", but should be selected
manually and after a bit of thinking in <include/net/pkt_sched.h>
PSCHED_CLOCK_SOURCE can take three values:
PSCHED_GETTIMEOFDAY
PSCHED_JIFFIES
PSCHED_CPU
PSCHED_GETTIMEOFDAY
Default setting is the most conservative PSCHED_GETTIMEOFDAY.
It is very slow both because of weird slowness of do_gettimeofday()
and because it forces code to use unnatural "timeval" format,
where microseconds and seconds fields are separate.
Besides that, it will misbehave, when delays exceed 2 seconds
(f.e. very slow links or classes bounded to small slice of bandwidth)
To resume: as only you will get it working, select correct clock
source and forget about PSCHED_GETTIMEOFDAY forever.
PSCHED_JIFFIES
Clock is derived from jiffies. On architectures with HZ=100
granularity of this clock is not enough to make reasonable
bindings to real time. However, taking into account Linux
architecture problems, which force us to use artificial
integrated clock in any case, this switch is not so bad
for schduling even on high speed networks, though policing
is not reliable.
PSCHED_CPU
It is available only for alpha and pentiums with correct
CPU timestamp. It is the fastest way, use it when it is available,
but remember: not all pentiums have this facility, and
a lot of them have clock, broken by APM etc. etc.
