NAME

       CoDel - Fair Queuing (FQ) with Controlled Delay (CoDel)

SYNOPSIS

       tc qdisc ... fq_codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ flows NUMBER ] [ target TIME ] [ interval TIME ]
       [ quantum BYTES ] [ ecn | noecn ] [ ce_threshold TIME ] [ memory_limit BYTES ]

DESCRIPTION

       FQ_Codel (Fair Queuing Controlled Delay) is queuing discipline that combines Fair  Queuing
       with  the  CoDel AQM scheme. FQ_Codel uses a stochastic model to classify incoming packets
       into different flows and is used to provide a fair share of the bandwidth to all the flows
       using  the  queue.  Each  such flow is managed by the CoDel queuing discipline. Reordering
       within a flow is avoided since Codel internally uses a FIFO queue.

PARAMETERS

   limit
       has the same semantics as codel and is the hard limit on the real queue size.   When  this
       limit is reached, incoming packets are dropped. Default is 10240 packets.

   memory_limit
       sets  a  limit  on the total number of bytes that can be queued in this FQ-CoDel instance.
       The lower of the packet limit of  the  limit  parameter  and  the  memory  limit  will  be
       enforced. Default is 32 MB.

   flows
       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.  Default value is 1024.

   target
       has the same semantics as codel and is the acceptable  minimum  standing/persistent  queue
       delay.  This  minimum  delay  is identified by tracking the local minimum queue delay that
       packets experience. Default value is 5ms.

   interval
       has the same semantics as codel and is used to ensure that the measured minimum delay does
       not  become  too stale.  The minimum delay must be experienced in the last epoch of length
       .B interval.  It should be set on the order of the worst-case RTT through  the  bottleneck
       to give endpoints sufficient time to react. Default value is 100ms.

   quantum
       is  the number of bytes used as 'deficit' in the fair queuing algorithm. Default is set to
       1514 bytes which corresponds to the Ethernet MTU plus the hardware  header  length  of  14
       bytes.

   ecn | noecn
       has  the same semantics as codel 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. Unlike  codel,
       ecn is turned on by default.

   ce_threshold
       sets  a threshold above which all packets are marked with ECN Congestion Experienced. This
       is useful for DCTCP-style congestion control  algorithms  that  require  marking  at  very
       shallow queueing thresholds.
