8 select NET_SCH_FIFO
9 ---help---
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
12 delay, and which ones to drop. This is the job of the queueing
13 disciplines, several different algorithms for how to do this
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
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
29 <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/iproute2>.
30
31 This Quality of Service (QoS) support will enable you to use
32 Differentiated Services (diffserv) and Resource Reservation Protocol
33 (RSVP) on your Linux router if you also say Y to the corresponding
34 classifiers below. Documentation and software is at
35 <http://diffserv.sourceforge.net/>.
36
37 If you say Y here and to "/proc file system" below, you will be able
38 to read status information about packet schedulers from the file
39 /proc/net/psched.
40
41 The available schedulers are listed in the following questions; you
42 can say Y to as many as you like. If unsure, say N now.

397 This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
398 functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
399 command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.
