Dave Taht b6268fbd58 q_netem: support delivering packets in delayed time slots
Slotting is a crude approximation of the behaviors of shared media such
as cable, wifi, and LTE, which gather up a bunch of packets within a
varying delay window and deliver them, relative to that, nearly all at
once.

It works within the existing loss, duplication, jitter and delay
parameters of netem. Some amount of inherent latency must be specified,
regardless.

The new "slot" parameter specifies a minimum and maximum delay between
transmission attempts.

The "bytes" and "packets" parameters can be used to limit the amount of
information transferred per slot.

Examples of use:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 200us \
        slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42

A more correct example, using stacked netem instances and a packet limit
to emulate a tail drop wifi queue with slots and variable packet
delivery, with a 200Mbit isochronous underlying rate, and 20ms path
delay:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 20ms rate 200mbit \
         limit 10000
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10:1 netem delay 200us \
         slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 limit 512

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

Stable version repository:

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
