Subject: [RFC NET_SCHED 00/02]: Flexible SFQ flow classification
Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 11:40:55 +0200 (MEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070530094020.24073.84277.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
One good thing about ESFQ is the more flexible flow classification, but
I don't like the concept of having a set of selectable hash functions
very much.
These patches change SFQ to allow attaching external classifiers and add
a new "flow" classifier that allows to classify flows based on an arbitary
combination of pre-defined keys. Its probably not the fastest classifier
when used with multiple keys, but frankly, I don't think speed is very
important in most situations where the current SFQ implementation is used.
It currently does not support perturbation, I didn't want to move this into
the classifier, so I need to think about a way to handle it within SFQ.
Some examples:
# behave identical to internal SFQ hash
tc filter add ... flow baseclass x:1 classes 1024 \
keys src,dst,proto-src,proto-dst
# the same, but based on source address/port before NAT
tc filter add ... flow baseclass x:1 classes 1024 \
keys nfct-src,dst,nfct-proto-src,proto-dst
# classify based on UID
tc filter add ... flow baseclass x:1 classes 1024 \
keys sk-uid
and so on .. check out the iproute help text for the full set of supported
keys.
Comments welcome.
