[PATCH 2.6] update to network emulation QOS scheduler

This patch updates the network emulation packet scheduler.
	* name changed from delay to netem since it does more than just delay
	* Catalin''s merged code to do packet reordering
	* uses a socket queue''s directly rather than layering on qdisc(fifo)
	  because this is used in performance tests.
	* adds placeholder in API for future enhancements (rate and duplicate).

Re: [PATCH 2.6] update to network emulation QOS scheduler

Here is an enhancement to netem to do allow emulating lower speed 
networks.  The resolution is close, but obviously limited by the
granularity of timers and size of packets.

Also, fixes a rtnetlink dependency which showed up in some configurations
and optimizes for the non-loss case by avoiding net_random call.

I think its time i illustrate my comments earlier with some example
hopefully this will curb the amount of features on this qdisc.
I do think theres value in having this thing do delay and jitter, but
you have gone waay beyond that now;
Let illustrate things which apply to what you are trying to do in
network condituions emulation. Although i show ingress qdisc , this
applies to egress just the same.

#drop 1 out 10 packets randomly using the netrand generator
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 6 u32 \
match ip src 10.0.0.21/32 flowid 1:16 \
action drop random netrand ok 0xa

Note, you can plugin another randomization algorithm (a point i was
trying to make earlier; currently supporting netrandom and deterministic
algorithms only)

#deterministically accept every second packet, drop the rest
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 6 u32 \
match ip src 10.0.0.22/32 flowid 1:16 \
action drop random determ ok 2

# deterministically duplicate every second packet
#
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 6 u32 \
match ip src 10.0.0.21/32 flowid 1:16 \
action ok random determ pipe 2 \
action mirred egress mirror dev dummy0

Interesting thing is depending on what you have attached on
the dummy0 device you could reorder or delay. Example you could hookup
that qdisc to delay.

Lets do something more interesting ...
#
# deterministically duplicate every second packet that
# exceeds 100Kbit for packets coming in from 10.0.0.31
# and give it a fwmark of 2. Dummy could do something
# with that info
#
#
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 6 u32 \
match ip src 10.0.0.31/32 flowid 1:16 \
action ipt -j mark --set-mark 1 \
action police rate 100kbit burst 90k pipe \
action ok random determ pipe 2 \
action ipt -j mark --set-mark 2 \
action mirred egress mirror dev dummy0

Lets do something even more interesting ..

tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 6 u32 \
match ip src 10.0.0.31/32 flowid 1:16 \
action police rate 100kbit burst 90k pipe \
action pedit munge offset 4 u32 set 0x12341234 \
action ok random determ pipe 2 \
action mirred egress mirror dev dummy0

Note: we introduced some error in the
packet bits by randomly setting some value in some offset;
checksums etc will be wrong as a result. This happens for all packets
exceeding 100Kbits. Every second packet which has been trampled is also
duplicated...

I hope this makes my point clearer. For testing or emulating conditions
just create actions and serialize them for the flows and in/egress
device you want them on. Create new ones that dont exist.

Hi Stephen,

This looks extremely useful.

I have a need for a simulator for the Iridium Satellite phone network, 
this is at most 2,400 baud with perhaps 1 sec or more latency.  Do you 
expect this scheduler to be able to do this slow?

On a related note, for better accuracy I currently need a bit of 
stochastic variability on the latency, ie assume a 1 sec min delay, but 
also to vary that a little through time.  Have you considered adding 
that as a feature?

Thanks

Ed W

Your examples made me think about this more.  The netfilter seem best
suited to things that effect the flow of packets (dropping, reordering,
even corrupting), and the qdisc seems best when the timing needs to change.

The limit match in netfilter is not the same as the rate in the qdisc.
The netem scheduler acts as if the link is a slow fixed rate.  The netfilter
limit is usually targeted to drop packets over the rate which is not the same.
Reordering is also hard without going out to a user log or building a custom
target.

So, you have convinced me that loss is unnecessary but not the rate, or delay.
If we can figure out how to re-ordering with netfilter then that could go too,
which would make it possible to use a layered qdisc again.

Ok, so for now I''m going to just put in this part of Stephen''s
patch which just adds the rtnetlink.h include and the loss
optimization.

To be honest, the rate feature is such a tiny amount of code...
it''s not the end of the world if we put it in :-)

Some of the attributes you are trying to control need queueing; no doubt
the best spot to do queueing is on a qdisc. Delays, and reordering for
example are ideal. Rate control as well fits here. There are other
qdiscs which have done a really good job at rate control hence my
arguement against you doing it - you will either not do a better job at
it or if you do a good job you will be replicating what they already
did; just stash your qdisc in another qdisc which can do a good rate
control job (CBQ, TBF, HFSC, HTB) - we are flexible enough in Linux.

Depending on where you want to do things, netfilter may be a good
candidate (example IP protocol) or things that dont need queueing.
The examples i gave are more powerful than anything netfilter can do at
the moment though with only caveat theres only two "hooks".

Not sure what the netfilter limit target is - i suspect its something
that limits based on a group of flows. You can still do that with a
fwamrk at the qdisc level. Reordering needs a queue. Even the example i
gave uses a queue that resides on the dummy device.

I think keep the reordering aspect of it unless it is very complex. The
delay is a must. If you can add configurable jitter to it that would be
a big bonus. Keep the randomization.  Duplication, dropping, bit error
injection, and rate control are the ones i didnt see belonging there
mostly because they can be done better elsewhere.
Again this is just opinion, if you think that theres no complexity in
the architecture, by all means keep all those features - my
recommendation is to pick a few things that will work well and implement
them well.

It''s a netfilter iptables module that essentially uses
sch_tbf.c''s
simple token bucket filter algorithm.

See net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_limit.c for details.

I suggest to keep duplication because:
1. Adds 5-10 lines of code and no complexity
2. It''s very easy to use it attached directly to a device.

Re: [PATCH 2.6] update to network emulation QOS scheduler

Ok, I''ll bite how would you do:

Rate limit packet egress on a ethernet device (eth0) so it looks like a slow DSL
link (25 Kbps)
by not dropping packets but by pacing the data.

I dont think that should stop you from adding the feature. 
To answer your question, yes, duplicates can be sent to that qdisc
using the tc extensions.

Go ahead. The tc extension creation of duplicates can be used with
other qdiscs as well.

Doesnt TBF work? 
rate 25kbit burst 90k should probably do it.  Maybe i misunderstood the
question.

You may be able to avoid dropping but dont think you can guarantee it
simply because you have finite buffers. At some point you will congest
that queue and packets will be dropped; and if you dont limit your queue
buffer size, sooner than later you are bound to hog all the system
memory. 
Having said that, i have never seen a good arguement for why pacing
traffic vs dropping to initiate a slowdown is better than the other.
So in that case, a policer/meter should suffice.

TBF works but since the sender (on the same local machine) may go over
it''s allocation,
it will drop packets.

For example, if I use tbf to simulate a slow 33k bits/sec link then TCP test
never
completes, it just hangs!  TBF does work for intermediate sizes.

But if I use the pacing simulation it works.

I understand that, every queue has to have a limit.

Actually, the problem only occurs if burst is set large (like 2mb).
I think it gets stuck waiting for that much data.
