30 // This simple example shows how to use TrafficControlHelper to install a
31 // QueueDisc on a device.
32 //
33 // The default QueueDisc is a pfifo_fast with a capacity of 1000 packets (as in
34 // Linux). However, in this example, we install a RedQueueDisc with a capacity
35 // of 10000 packets.
36 //
37 // Network topology
38 //
39 // 10.1.1.0
40 // n0 -------------- n1
41 // point-to-point
42 //
43 // The output will consist of all the traced changes in the length of the RED
44 // internal queue and in the length of the netdevice queue:
45 //
46 // DevicePacketsInQueue 0 to 1
47 // TcPacketsInQueue 7 to 8
48 // TcPacketsInQueue 8 to 9
49 // DevicePacketsInQueue 1 to 0
50 // TcPacketsInQueue 9 to 8
51 //
52 // plus some statistics collected at the network layer (by the flow monitor)
53 // and the application layer. Finally, the number of packets dropped by the
54 // queuing discipline, the number of packets dropped by the netdevice and
55 // the number of packets requeued by the queuing discipline are reported.
56 //
57 // If the size of the DropTail queue of the netdevice were increased from 1
58 // to a large number (e.g. 1000), one would observe that the number of dropped
59 // packets goes to zero, but the latency grows in an uncontrolled manner. This
60 // is the so-called bufferbloat problem, and illustrates the importance of
61 // having a small device queue, so that the standing queues build in the traffic
62 // control layer where they can be managed by advanced queue discs rather than
63 // in the device layer.
