+ tristate "Plug network traffic until release (PLUG)"
+ ---help---
+
+ This queuing discipline allows userspace to plug/unplug a network
+ output queue, using the netlink interface. When it receives an
+ enqueue command it inserts a plug into the outbound queue that
+ causes following packets to enqueue until a dequeue command arrives
+ over netlink, causing the plug to be removed and resuming the normal
+ packet flow.
+
+ This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
+ functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
+ command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.
+ The Remus HA project uses this module to enable speculative execution
+ of virtual machines by allowing the generated network output to be rolled
+ back if needed.
+
