NAME
       drr - deficit round robin scheduler

SYNOPSIS
       tc qdisc ... add drr [ quantum bytes ]

DESCRIPTION
       The Deficit Round Robin Scheduler is a classful queuing discipline as a
       more flexible replacement for Stochastic Fairness Queuing.

       Unlike SFQ, there are no built-in queues -- you need to add classes and
       then  set up filters to classify packets accordingly.  This can be use‐
       ful e.g. for using RED qdiscs with different  settings  for  particular
       traffic. There is no default class -- if a packet cannot be classified,
       it is dropped.

ALGORITHM
       Each class is assigned a deficit counter, initialized to quantum.

       DRR maintains an (internal) ''active'' list of classes whose qdiscs are
       non-empty.  This list is used for dequeuing.  A packet is dequeued from
       the class at the head of the list if the	 packet	 size  is  smaller  or
       equal  to  the  deficit	counter.   If  the counter is too small, it is
       increased by quantum and the scheduler moves on to the  next  class  in
       the active list.

PARAMETERS
       quantum
	      Amount  of  bytes a flow is allowed to dequeue before the sched‐
	      uler moves to the next class.  Defaults to the MTU of the inter‐
	      face. The minimum value is 1.

EXAMPLE & USAGE
       To attach to device eth0, using the interface MTU as its quantum:

       # tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle 1 root drr

       Adding two classes:

       #  tc  class  add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 drr # tc class add dev
       eth0 parent 1: classid 1:2 drr

       You also need to add at least one filter to classify packets.

       # tc filter add dev eth0 protocol .. classid 1:1

       Like SFQ, DRR is only useful when it owns the queue --  it  is  a  pure
       scheduler  and  does  not delay packets.	 Attaching non-work-conserving
       qdiscs like tbf to it does not make sense -- other qdiscs in the active
       list  will  also	 become inactive until the dequeue operation succeeds.
       Embed DRR within another qdisc like HTB or HFSC to ensure it  owns  the
       queue.

       You can mimic SFQ behavior by assigning packets to the attached classes
       using the flow filter:

       tc qdisc add dev .. drr

       for i in .. 1024;do
	    tc class add dev .. classid $handle:$(print %x $i)
	    tc qdisc add dev .. fifo limit 16
       done

       tc  filter  add	..   protocol	ip   ..	  $handle   flow   hash	  keys
       src,dst,proto,proto-src,proto-dst divisor 1024 perturb 10

NOTES
       This implementation does not drop packets from  the  longest  queue  on
       overrun, as limits are handled by the individual child qdiscs.
