Alexey meant EndOfInterrupt probably - the timepoint when a packet finally leaved NIC. It is needed to compute and measure inderpacket times - these are used as guide whether are we over/underlimit. When I started to write first HTB version I spent one YEAR of thinking - so that don't expect to understand all nuances so fast :) The main problems when implementing CBQ as described in Floyd paper (Appendix A - interpacked delay measure) is that you don;t have precise time reference. Alexey used trick in sch_cbq - used NIC as time source ;) HTB is direct implementation of Floyd's formal sharing and uses leaky buckets as estimators - they are not so sensitive to less precise timing. Also you should note that original CBQ really didn't measure bw, it rather tries to correct deviations from expected interpacket delay. regards, devik > regards > > yuxiao > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "yuxiao" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 11:31 AM > Subject: Re: questiona about CBQ algorithm in Linux > > > > Hello! > > > > > average), how about Linux implemenatation about estimator?=20 > > > also do you have link for this algorithm?
