Queues

Queuing disciplines are defined with the following syntax:

qdisc index = type parameters pragmas

index

is the number of the queuing discipline

type

is the name of the queuing discipline, e.g. prio or red

parameters

is a space-separated list of parameters. The list may be empty. Each parameter consists of the parameter name, followed by the decimal parameter value. Parameter value conversion is described below. tcc outputs parameters in alphabetic order.

pragmas

is an optional list of space-separated pragmas, beginning with the keyword pragma

Parameter values are converted as follows:

Parameter type	Unit in output
Rate	1 Bps	(byte per second)
Size in bytes	1 B	(byte)
Size in packets	1 p	(packet)
Time	1 s	(second)
Probability	$10^{-6}$	(multiply with 1'000'000)

Example:

qdisc 2 = fifo limit 10000
