NAME
       CoDel - Fair Queuing (FQ) with Controlled Delay (CoDel)
SYNOPSIS
       tc  qdisc ... fq_codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ flows NUMBER ] [ target TIME
       ] [ interval TIME ] [ quantum BYTES ] [ ecn | noecn  ]  [  ce_threshold
       TIME ] [ ce_threshold_selector VALUE/MASK ] [ memory_limit BYTES ]
DESCRIPTION
       FQ_Codel  (Fair  Queuing  Controlled  Delay) is queuing discipline that
       combines Fair Queuing with the CoDel AQM scheme. FQ_Codel uses  a  sto-
       chastic  model to classify incoming packets into different flows and is
       used to provide a fair share of the bandwidth to all  the  flows  using
       the  queue.  Each such flow is managed by the CoDel queuing discipline.
       Reordering within a flow is avoided since Codel internally uses a  FIFO
       queue.
PARAMETERS
   limit
       has the same semantics as codel and is the hard limit on the real queue
       size.  When this  limit  is  reached,  incoming  packets  are  dropped.
       Default is 10240 packets.
   memory_limit
       sets  a  limit  on the total number of bytes that can be queued in this
       FQ-CoDel instance. The lower of the packet limit of the limit parameter
       and the memory limit will be enforced. Default is 32 MB.
   flows
       is  the number of flows into which the incoming packets are classified.
       Due to the stochastic nature of hashing,  multiple  flows  may  end  up
       being  hashed  into the same slot. Newer flows have priority over older
       ones. This parameter can be set only at load time since memory  has  to
       be allocated for the hash table.  Default value is 1024.
   target
       has  the  same  semantics as codel and is the acceptable minimum stand-
       ing/persistent queue delay. This minimum delay is identified by  track-
       ing  the  local  minimum  queue  delay that packets experience. Default
       value is 5ms.
   interval
       has the same semantics as codel and is used to ensure that the measured
       minimum  delay  does  not  become too stale.  The minimum delay must be
       experienced in the last epoch of length interval.  It should be set  on
       the  order  of  the  worst-case RTT through the bottleneck to give end-
       points sufficient time to react. Default value is 100ms.
   quantum
       is the number of bytes used as 'deficit' in the fair queuing algorithm.
       Default is set to 1514 bytes which corresponds to the Ethernet MTU plus
       the hardware header length of 14 bytes.
   ecn | noecn
       has the same semantics as codel and can be used to mark packets instead
       of dropping them. If ecn has been enabled, noecn can be used to turn it
       off and vice-a-versa. Unlike codel, ecn is turned on by default.
   ce_threshold
       sets a threshold above which all packets are marked with ECN Congestion
       Experienced.  This  is  useful for DCTCP-style congestion control algo-
       rithms that require marking at very shallow queueing thresholds.
   ce_threshold_selector
       sets a filter so that the ce_threshold feature is  applied  to  only  a
       subset of the traffic seen by the qdisc. If set, the MASK value will be
       applied as a bitwise AND to the diffserv/ECN byte of the IP header, and
       only  if the result of this masking equals VALUE, will the ce_threshold
       logic be applied to the packet.
   drop_batch
       sets the maximum number of packets to drop when limit  or  memory_limit
       is exceeded. Default value is 64.
