tc(?) interface to hardware transmit rate limiting
This session is scheduled with "Linux traffic classification and shaping":
https:/
Intel 10 Gigabit hardware (and others) can provide transmit rate limiting. This presentation will discuss development of a new simple qdisc that can either provide all-software transmit rate limiting, or when installed over hardware that supports the capability, can directly configure the hardware's rate limiting. One problem that will need discussion is that the Intel hardware's rate limiting is per-queue. Another option besides a qdisc that could be discussed is direct ethtool control over the rate limiting.
