SFQ as implemented in Linux is very limited, with at most 127 flows and limit of 127 packets. [ So if 127 flows are active, we have one packet per flow ] This patch brings to SFQ following features to cope with modern needs. - Ability to specify a smaller per flow limit of inflight packets. (default value being at 127 packets) - Ability to have up to 65408 active flows (instead of 127) - Ability to have head drops instead of tail drops (to drop old packets from a flow) Example of use : No more than 20 packets per flow, max 8000 flows, max 20000 packets in SFQ qdisc, hash table of 65536 slots. tc qdisc add ... sfq \ flows 8000 \ depth 20 \ headdrop \ limit 20000 \ divisor 65536 Ram usage : 2 bytes per hash table entry (instead of previous 1 byte/entry) 32 bytes per flow on 64bit arches, instead of 384 for QFQ, so much better cache hit ratio.
