10 When the kernel has several packets to send out over a network
11 device, it has to decide which ones to send first, which ones to
52ab4ac2
TG
12 delay, and which ones to drop. This is the job of the queueing
13 disciplines, several different algorithms for how to do this
6a2e9b73
SR
14 "fairly" have been proposed.
15
16 If you say N here, you will get the standard packet scheduler, which
17 is a FIFO (first come, first served). If you say Y here, you will be
18 able to choose from among several alternative algorithms which can
19 then be attached to different network devices. This is useful for
20 example if some of your network devices are real time devices that
21 need a certain minimum data flow rate, or if you need to limit the
22 maximum data flow rate for traffic which matches specified criteria.
23 This code is considered to be experimental.
24
25 To administer these schedulers, you'll need the user-level utilities
5d330cdd
AS
26 from the package iproute2+tc at
27 <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/>. That package
28 also contains some documentation; for more, check out

37 If you say Y here and to "/proc file system" below, you will be able

42 can say Y to as many as you like. If unsure, say N now.
