netem: slotting with non-uniform distribution
Extend slotting with support for non-uniform distributions. This is similar to netem's non-uniform distribution delay feature. Commit f043efeae2f1 ("netem: support delivering packets in delayed time slots") added the slotting feature to approximate the behaviors of media with packet aggregation but only supported a uniform distribution for delays between transmission attempts. Tests with TCP BBR with emulated wifi links with non-uniform distributions produced more useful results. Syntax: slot dist DISTRIBUTION DELAY JITTER [packets MAX_PACKETS] \ [bytes MAX_BYTES] The syntax and use of the distribution table is the same as in the non-uniform distribution delay feature. A file DISTRIBUTION must be present in TC_LIB_DIR (e.g. /usr/lib/tc) containing numbers scaled by NETEM_DIST_SCALE. A random value x is selected from the table and it takes DELAY + ( x * JITTER ) as delay. Correlation between values is not supported. Examples: Normal distribution delay with mean = 800us and stdev = 100us. > tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem slot dist normal 800us 100us Optionally set the max slot size in bytes and/or packets. > tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem slot dist normal 800us 100us \ bytes 64k packets 42 Signed-off-by: Yousuk Seung <ysseung@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
