LARTC - Nov 2000 - Section 16.1 "How does packet queueing really work"

Hello all,

I am thinking of writing section 16.1 of the lartc HOWTO on the queueing
internals.
But to make clear how all those queueing strategies work, that takes
quite some text and time,
and it might be beyond the scope of this HOWTO too.

Has anyone of you tried something similar, or does someone know useful
information on the kernel internals concerning queueing? Can anyone
point me to the source files in the kernel implementing the different
queueing disciplines?

fyi: I am a mathematician, having done some courses on queueing, but not
familiar with implementation details.

Regards,
Guy

The source code to the queuing disciplines is in net/sched.
