FQ-PIE (Flow Queuing with Proportional Integral controller
Enhanced) is a queuing discipline that combines Flow Queuing with
the PIE AQM scheme. FQ-PIE uses a Jenkins hash function to
classify incoming packets into different flows and is used to
provide a fair share of the bandwidth to all the flows using the
qdisc. Each such flow is managed by the PIE algorithm.
The FQ-PIE algorithm consists of two logical parts: the scheduler
which selects which queue to dequeue a packet from, and the PIE
AQM which works on each of the queues. The major work of FQ-PIE
is mostly in the scheduling part. The interaction between the
scheduler and the PIE algorithm is straight forward.
During the enqueue stage, a hashing-based scheme is used, where
flows are hashed into a number of buckets with each bucket having
its own queue. The number of buckets is configurable, and
presently defaults to 1024 in the implementation. The flow
hashing is performed on the 5-tuple of source and destination IP
addresses, port numbers and IP protocol number. Once the packet
has been successfully classified into a queue, it is handed over
to the PIE algorithm for enqueuing. It is then added to the tail
of the selected queue, and the queue's byte count is updated by
the packet size. If the queue is not currently active (i.e., if
it is not in either the list of new or the list of old queues) ,
it is added to the end of the list of new queues, and its number
of credits is initiated to the configured quantum. Otherwise, the
queue is left in its current queue list.
During the dequeue stage, the scheduler first looks at the list
of new queues; for the queue at the head of that list, if that
queue has a negative number of credits (i.e., it has already
dequeued at least a quantum of bytes), it is given an additional
quantum of credits, the queue is put onto the end of the list of
old queues, and the routine selects the next queue and starts
again. Otherwise, that queue is selected for dequeue again. If
the list of new queues is empty, the scheduler proceeds down the
list of old queues in the same fashion (checking the credits, and
either selecting the queue for dequeuing, or adding credits and
putting the queue back at the end of the list). After having
selected a queue from which to dequeue a packet, the PIE
algorithm is invoked on that queue.
Finally, if the PIE algorithm does not return a packet, then the
queue must be empty and the scheduler does one of two things:
If the queue selected for dequeue came from the list of new
queues, it is moved to the end of the list of old queues. If
instead it came from the list of old queues, that queue is
removed from the list, to be added back (as a new queue) the next
time a packet arrives that hashes to that queue. Then (since no
packet was available for dequeue), the whole dequeue process is
restarted from the beginning.
If, instead, the scheduler did get a packet back from the PIE
algorithm, it subtracts the size of the packet from the byte
credits for the selected queue and returns the packet as the
result of the dequeue operation.
limit
It is the limit on the queue size in packets. Incoming packets
are dropped when the limit is reached. The default value is 10240
packets.
flows
It is the number of flows into which the incoming packets are
classified. Due to the stochastic nature of hashing, multiple
flows may end up being hashed into the same slot. Newer flows
have priority over older ones. This parameter can be set only at
load time since memory has to be allocated for the hash table.
The default value is 1024.
target
It is the queue delay which the PIE algorithm tries to maintain.
The default target delay is 15ms.
tupdate
It is the time interval at which the system drop probability is
calculated. The default is 15ms.
alpha
beta
alpha and beta are parameters chosen to control the drop
probability. These should be in the range between 0 and 32.
quantum
quantum signifies the number of bytes that may be dequeued from a
queue before switching to the next queue in the deficit round
robin scheme.
memory_limit
It is the maximum total memory allowed for packets of all flows.
The default is 32Mb.
ecn_prob
It is the drop probability threshold below which packets will be
ECN marked instead of getting dropped. The default is 10%.
Setting this parameter requires ecn to be enabled.
[no]ecn
It has the same semantics as pie and can be used to mark packets
instead of dropping them. If ecn has been enabled, noecn can be
used to turn it off and vice-a-versa.
[no]bytemode
It is used to scale drop probability proportional to packet size
bytemode to turn on bytemode, nobytemode to turn off bytemode. By
default, bytemode is turned off.
[no_]dq_rate_estimator
dq_rate_estimator can be used to calculate queue delay using
Little's Law, no_dq_rate_estimator can be used to calculate queue
delay using timestamp. By default, dq_rate_estimator is turned
off.
