| 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. |
| |
| config NET_SCH_CLK_JIFFIES |
| bool "Timer interrupt" |
| help |
| 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. |
| |
| config NET_SCH_CLK_GETTIMEOFDAY |
| bool "gettimeofday" |
| help |
| Say Y here if you want to use gettimeofday as clock source. This clock |
| source has high resolution, is synchronized on all processors and |
| handles cpu clock frequency changes, but it is slow. |
| |
| Choose this if you need a high resolution clock source but can't use |
| the CPU's cycle counter. |
| |
| config NET_SCH_CLK_CPU |
| bool "CPU cycle counter" |
| depends on X86_TSC || X86_64 || ALPHA || SPARC64 || PPC64 || IA64 |
| 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. |

| tristate "CBQ packet scheduler" |
| depends on NET_SCHED |
| ---help--- |
| 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 |
| API" and say Y to all the classifiers you want to use; a classifier |
| is a routine that allows you to sort your outgoing traffic into |
| classes based on a certain criterion. |
