Subject: [PATCH v2 iproute2-next 2/3] q_netem: support delivering packets in
delayed time slots
From: Dave Taht <dave.taht@...il.com>
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

+.I PACKETS
+will limit the number of packets delivered per slot.
+
+These slot options can provide a crude approximation of bursty MACs such as
+DOCSIS, WiFi, and LTE.
+
+Note that slotting is limited by several factors: the kernel clock granularity,
+as with a rate, and attempts to deliver many packets within a slot will be
+smeared by the timer resolution, and by the underlying native bandwidth also.
+
+It is possible to combine slotting with a rate, in which case complex behaviors
+where either the rate, or the slot limits on bytes or packets per slot, govern
+the actual delivered rate.
+
.SH LIMITATIONS
The main known limitation of Netem are related to timer granularity, since
Linux is not a real-time operating system.
