In particular, problems arise because of the following theoretical issue. Consider the packet service time for a flow, i.e., the time to transmit one maximum-size packet of the flow at the rate reserved to the flow. For each flow, the worst-case packet delay/jitter guaranteed by QFQ+, with respect to packet completion times in an ideal, perfectly fair system, is equal to a few times the packet service time for the flow. In contrast, with DRR this delay/jitter is independent of the packet service time, and grows linearly with the number of flows. Hence, the shorter the packet service time is, the higher this delay becomes with respect to the packet service time. In the In the test, 1) the total number of flows N is equal to 501, 2) the video-streaming server is reserved a bandwidth such that its packet service time complies with the frame playback period, 3) the time to transmit 500 maximum-size packets at line rate is much higher than the packet service for the video-streaming server, and hence, of the frame period. As a consequence, when DRR incurs its physiological O(N) delay, the playback buffer on the client side runs out of frames. > Maybe Paolo said that in the talk and I might have missed something. > Is QFQ+ working on a different definition of flow than DRR?, No, on the same. > and is DRR Linux SFQ? > No, it is just DRR (sch_drr.c).
