LARTC - Mar 2001 - Queuing Algo = Scheduler ???

Hi all,

Is WRR a queuing algo or is it a scheduler??

Is PRIO = Simple 3-band scheduler? Is there any difference between PRIO and
the prio used in CBQ??
If PRIO is used as in qdisc root, does it service the 1st band traffic first
before 2nd and then 3rd band?

Is TBF a queuing algo or a scheduler??

The many documentations found on the web apparently interchange the terms
queuing algorithm and scheduler frequently...


Regards.

Yes (and queueing discipline ;-) ).

Yes. It only sends from band n if there is nothing to send in bands less than n.
That''s essesially the same as CBQ does except that CBQ sometimes does
other things in order to fullfill other reqirements.

Yes, so don''t be confused by that.
