default NET_SCH_CLK_JIFFIES
|
|
help
|
|
Packet schedulers need a monotonic clock that increments at a static
|
|
rate. The kernel provides several suitable interfaces, each with
|
|
different properties:
|
|
|
|
- high resolution (us or better)
|
|
- fast to read (minimal locking, no i/o access)
|
|
- synchronized on all processors
|
|
- handles cpu clock frequency changes
|
|
|
|
but nothing provides all of the above.

|
|
Say Y here if you want to use the timer interrupt (jiffies) as clock
|
|
source. This clock source is fast, synchronized on all processors and
|

handles cpu clock frequency changes, but its resolution is too low
|

for accurate shaping except at very low speed.

the CPU's cycle counter.

help
|
|
Say Y here if you want to use the CPU's cycle counter as clock source.
|
|
This is a cheap and high resolution clock source, but on some
|
|
architectures it is not synchronized on all processors and doesn't
|
|
handle cpu clock frequency changes.
|
|
|
|
The useable cycle counters are:
|
|
|
|
x86/x86_64 - Timestamp Counter
|
|
alpha - Cycle Counter
|
|
sparc64 - %ticks register
|
|
ppc64 - Time base
|
|
ia64 - Interval Time Counter
|
|
|
|
Choose this if your CPU's cycle counter is working properly.

Say Y here if you want to use the Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) packet

scheduling algorithm for some of your network devices. This

algorithm classifies the waiting packets into a tree-like hierarchy

of classes; the leaves of this tree are in turn scheduled by

separate algorithms (called "disciplines" in this context).

See the top of <file:net/sched/sch_cbq.c> for references about the

CBQ algorithm.

CBQ is a commonly used scheduler, so if you're unsure, you should

say Y here. Then say Y to all the queueing algorithms below that you
|
|
want to use as CBQ disciplines. Then say Y to "Packet classifier

classes based on a certain criterion.
