From d4b36210c2e6ecef0ce52fb6c18c51144f5c2d88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vijay Subramanian Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2014 17:33:55 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: pkt_sched: PIE AQM scheme Proportional Integral controller Enhanced (PIE) is a scheduler to address the bufferbloat problem. >From the IETF draft below: " Bufferbloat is a phenomenon where excess buffers in the network cause high latency and jitter. As more and more interactive applications (e.g. voice over IP, real time video streaming and financial transactions) run in the Internet, high latency and jitter degrade application performance. There is a pressing need to design intelligent queue management schemes that can control latency and jitter; and hence provide desirable quality of service to users. We present here a lightweight design, PIE(Proportional Integral controller Enhanced) that can effectively control the average queueing latency to a target value. Simulation results, theoretical analysis and Linux testbed results have shown that PIE can ensure low latency and achieve high link utilization under various congestion situations. The design does not require per-packet timestamp, so it incurs very small overhead and is simple enough to implement in both hardware and software. " Many thanks to Dave Taht for extensive feedback, reviews, testing and suggestions. Thanks also to Stephen Hemminger and Eric Dumazet for reviews and suggestions. Naeem Khademi and Dave Taht independently contributed to ECN support. For more information, please see technical paper about PIE in the IEEE Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing 2013.
