Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next] Add tc(8) userspace support for SKB Priority
 qdisc

sch_skbprio is a qdisc that prioritizes packets according to their skb->priority
field. Under congestion, it drops already-enqueued lower priority packets to
make space available for higher priority packets. Skbprio was conceived as a
solution for denial-of-service defenses that need to route packets with
different priorities as a means to overcome DoS attacks.

+.TH SKBPRIO 8 "27 July 2018" "iproute2" "Linux"
+.SH NAME
+skbprio \- SKB Priority Queue
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B tc qdisc ... add skbprio
+.B [ limit
+packets
+.B ]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+SKB Priority Queue is a queueing discipline intended to prioritize
+the most important packets during a denial-of-service (
+.B DoS
+) attack. The priority of a packet is given by
+.B skb->priority
+, where a higher value places the packet closer to the exit of the queue. When
+the queue is full, the lowest priority packet in the queue is dropped to make
+room for the packet to be added if it has higher priority. If the packet to be
+added has lower priority than all packets in the queue, it is dropped.
+
+Without SKB priority queue, queue length limits must be imposed
+on individual sub-queues, and there is no straightforward way to enforce
+a global queue length limit across all priorities. SKBprio queue enforces a
+global queue length limit while not restricting the lengths of individual
+sub-queues.
+
+While SKB Priority Queue is agnostic to how
+.B skb->priority
+is assigned. A typical use case is to copy
+the 6-bit DS field of IPv4 and IPv6 packets using
+.BR tc-skbedit (8)
+. If
+.B skb->priority
+is greater or equal to 64, the priority is assumed to be 63.
+Priorities less than 64 are taken at face value.
+
+SKB Priority Queue enables routers to locally decide which
+packets to drop under a DoS attack.
+Priorities should be assigned to packets such that the higher the priority,
+the more expected behavior a source shows.
+So sources have an incentive to play by the rules.
+
+.SH ALGORITHM
+
+Skbprio maintains 64 lists (priorities go from 0 to 63).
+When a packet is enqueued, it gets inserted at the
+.B tail
+of its priority list. When a packet needs to be sent out to the network, it is
+taken from the head of the highest priority list. When the queue is full,
+the packet at the tail of the lowest priority list is dropped to serve the
+ingress packet - if it is of higher priority, otherwise the ingress packet is
+dropped. This algorithm allocates as much bandwidth as possible to high
+priority packets, while only servicing low priority packets when
+there is enough bandwidth.
+
+.SH PARAMETERS
+.TP
+limit
+Maximum queue size specified in packets. It defaults to 64.
+The range for this parameter is [0, UINT32_MAX].
