<div dir="ltr"><div>And while I look over this very old, first presentation at stanford that tried to describe codel and fq_codel, I see multiple places that we have since improved.<br><br></div><div>1) I have fallen back to saying that instead of TCP-friendly, codel is "RTT-friendly". There's not a good definition of this latter phrase. Matt Mathis suggests I use "window friendly" instead, but I try to think of "RTT-friendly" as "waiting long enough for a congestion signal to reach the other side" and entirely outside of a tcp context... could use a harder definition....<br>
<br></div><div>2) My waving hands talking about 1/(sqrt(count) being the inverse of tcp's increases has since been dropped. I still wish we had a better graphic explaining what really goes on than I have in that preso, it requires a lot of talking still to explain it....<br>
</div><div><br></div>3) we have sfq and drr based versions of "fq_codel" in ns2. I've long encouraged QFQ's author to try the same thing (and qfq + codel can be easily played with using the debloat script, but you rapidly run out of memory on teeny routers). There is hfsc + codel in freebsd now (as well as their fairq variant that I don't know anything about.) I have a couple variants of codel and fq_codel in patch form and in cerowrt... as well as a pie still in progress...<br>
<br>Shapers are using (htb or hfsc) + fq_codel... in shapers where people were using sfq and/or red before. I frankly do not understand hfsc well enough to say if this is a good idea.<br>
<div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">4) And the ever prolific edumazet's pure (non-stochastic) fq just appeared in net-next with some very interesting and useful properties as to informing the queue about the host tcp behaviors...<br>

<br>
Slide 37 of below link mentions that SFQRED implemented in Linux 3.4<br>
upwards, "Utilized a better version of RED (“ARED”) from Sally Floyd<br>
in 2002". However I'm unable to find the "adaptive" bit of SFQRED in<br>
the kernel and iproute code. Can anyone (Dave or Eric) confirm that<br>
the mentioned statement is correct?<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>I think you are correct in that the adaptive RED code never formally made it into SFQRED. SFQRED was a brief blip in time before codel showed up... I'd talked about it in that talk as a steppingstone in hybrid fq+aqm history. (prior to that we were working with qfq + red as entirely separate, modular qdiscs). So... oops.<br>
</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>While I'm correcting slides and trying to keep history straight, after that talk it was pointed out that head drop from the biggest flow had been proposed as early as 1999, and possibly as early as the mid-late 1980s...<br>

<br>I think the work was interesting and valuable, and if you want to play with the ARED variant probably all you have to do is OR in the TC_ADAPTATIVE value into the flags on the red setup in sch_sfq.c<br><br></div><div>
Eric added ARED support to sch_red in kernel commit: 8af2a218de38f51ea4b4fa48cac1273319ae260c<br><br><a href="https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/exynos/+/8af2a218de38f51ea4b4fa48cac1273319ae260c" target="_blank">https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/exynos/+/8af2a218de38f51ea4b4fa48cac1273319ae260c</a><br>
<br>and some ip route version later corrected "adaptive" to be the user-facing syntax. I just ran a quick, dirty and (nonsensical*) rrul test with this:<br><br>tc qdisc add dev eth0 root red limit 40000 min 30000 max 90000 avpkt 1000 burst 55 ecn adaptive bandwidth 10Mbit<br>
<br>tc -s qdisc show dev eth0<br>qdisc red 8005: root refcnt 2 limit 40000b min 30000b max 90000b ecn adaptive <br> Sent 858913226 bytes 823269 pkt (dropped 4866, overlimits 123 requeues 0) <br> backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 <br>
