[Codel] CoDel + 3.3 kernel

[Rishita Rajal Anubhai]

Hi CoDel enthusiasts,

Along with Amogh, I am working with kernel 3.4 for CoDel.
While trying to use the deb package for linux kernel 3.4,
I got an error requesting me to use the libc6 version >=2.14.
I manually installed libc6 2.15* and the got the kernel
running after that.

The problem now is, while trying to 'make' from the codel
repo (to run tc), all the other packages I need such as flex, 
bison, etc. all seem to require the older version (libc6 2.13*) 
to be installed. Is the expected next step, to install all the
required packages manually in some way?

Thanks,
Rishita

you didn't install the tc utility properly.

what I usually do is

TC=/path/to/my/codel/repo/tc/tc
export TC
$TC -s qdisc show dev whatever

you will see on these lists pointers to a netperf script, called bloat.sh
which could use some improvement. Also, netperf from svn has multiple
new features useful in exploring this stuff, notably remote control
of different congestion control algorithms, tos/diffserv bit setting, etc.

I note that it helps to turn BQL down to minimal values.

I note also that fq_codel is pretty amazing, too. So is qfq + codel.

Happy explorations.

See also the debloat, and simple_qos.sh scripts in my deBloat github repository.

We look forward to hearing about your results.
