      net-qdisc-hhf: Heavy-Hitter Filter (HHF) qdisc · 10239edf
      Terry Lam 提交于
      This patch implements the first size-based qdisc that attempts to
      differentiate between small flows and heavy-hitters.  The goal is to
      catch the heavy-hitters and move them to a separate queue with less
      priority so that bulk traffic does not affect the latency of critical
      traffic.  Currently "less priority" means less weight (2:1 in
      particular) in a Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) scheduler.
      
      In essence, this patch addresses the "delay-bloat" problem due to
      bloated buffers. In some systems, large queues may be necessary for
      obtaining CPU efficiency, or due to the presence of unresponsive
      traffic like UDP, or just a large number of connections with each
      having a small amount of outstanding traffic. In these circumstances,
      HHF aims to reduce the HoL blocking for latency sensitive traffic,
      while not impacting the queues built up by bulk traffic.  HHF can also
      be used in conjunction with other AQM mechanisms such as CoDel.
      
      To capture heavy-hitters, we implement the "multi-stage filter" design
      in the following paper:
      C. Estan and G. Varghese, "New Directions in Traffic Measurement and
      Accounting", in ACM SIGCOMM, 2002.
      
      Some configurable qdisc settings through 'tc':
      - hhf_reset_timeout: period to reset counter values in the multi-stage
                           filter (default 40ms)
      - hhf_admit_bytes:   threshold to classify heavy-hitters
                           (default 128KB)
      - hhf_evict_timeout: threshold to evict idle heavy-hitters
                           (default 1s)
      - hhf_non_hh_weight: Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) weight for
                           non-heavy-hitters (default 2)
      - hh_flows_limit:    max number of heavy-hitter flow entries
                           (default 2048)
      
      Note that the ratio between hhf_admit_bytes and hhf_reset_timeout
      reflects the bandwidth of heavy-hitters that we attempt to capture
      (25Mbps with the above default settings).
      
      The false negative rate (heavy-hitter flows getting away unclassified)
      is zero by the design of the multi-stage filter algorithm.
      With 100 heavy-hitter flows, using four hashes and 4000 counters yields
      a false positive rate (non-heavy-hitters mistakenly classified as
      heavy-hitters) of less than 1e-4.
