HFSC(8)                                                 Linux                                                 HFSC(8)



NAME
       HFSC - Hierarchical Fair Service Curve's control under linux

SYNOPSIS
       tc qdisc add ... hfsc [ default CLASSID ]

       tc class add ... hfsc [ [ rt SC ] [ ls SC ] | [ sc SC ] ] [ ul SC ]

       rt : realtime service curve
       ls : linkshare service curve
       sc : rt+ls service curve
       ul : upperlimit service curve

       · at least one of rt, ls or sc must be specified
       · ul can only be specified with ls or sc

       SC := [ [ m1 BPS ] d SEC ] m2 BPS
              m1 : slope of the first segment
              d  : x-coordinate of intersection
              m2 : slope of the second segment

       SC := [ [ umax BYTE ] dmax SEC ] rate BPS
              umax : maximum unit of work
              dmax : maximum delay
              rate : rate

       For description of BYTE, BPS and SEC - please see UNITS section of tc(8).

DESCRIPTION (qdisc)
       HFSC qdisc has only one optional parameter - default. CLASSID specifies the minor part of the default classid,
       where packets not classified by other means (e.g. u32 filter, CLASSIFY target of iptables) will  be  enqueued.
       If default is not specified, unclassified packets will be dropped.

DESCRIPTION (class)
       HFSC  class  is used to create a class hierarchy for HFSC scheduler. For explanation of the algorithm, and the
       meaning behind rt, ls, sc and ul service curves - please refer to tc-hfsc(7).

       As you can see in SYNOPSIS, service curve (SC) can be specified in two ways. Either as maximum delay for  cer‐
       tain amount of work, or as a bandwidth assigned for certain amount of time. Obviously, m1 is simply umax/dmax.

       Both m2 and rate are mandatory. If you omit other parameters, you will specify linear service curve.
