9 * There are two ways to use this qdisc:
10 * 1. A simple "instantaneous" plug/unplug operation, by issuing an alternating
11 * sequence of TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER & TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE commands.
12 *
13 * 2. For network output buffering (a.k.a output commit) functionality.
14 * Output commit property is commonly used by applications using checkpoint
15 * based fault-tolerance to ensure that the checkpoint from which a system
16 * is being restored is consistent w.r.t outside world.
17 *
18 * Consider for e.g. Remus - a Virtual Machine checkpointing system,
19 * wherein a VM is checkpointed, say every 50ms. The checkpoint is replicated
20 * asynchronously to the backup host, while the VM continues executing the
21 * next epoch speculatively.
22 *
23 * The following is a typical sequence of output buffer operations:
24 * 1.At epoch i, start_buffer(i)
25 * 2. At end of epoch i (i.e. after 50ms):
26 * 2.1 Stop VM and take checkpoint(i).
27 * 2.2 start_buffer(i+1) and Resume VM
28 * 3. While speculatively executing epoch(i+1), asynchronously replicate
29 * checkpoint(i) to backup host.
30 * 4. When checkpoint_ack(i) is received from backup, release_buffer(i)
31 * Thus, this Qdisc would receive the following sequence of commands:
32 * TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i)
33 * .. TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+1)
34 * ....TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_ONE (epoch i)
35 * ......TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+2)
36 * ........
