# 303975 11-Aug-2016 gjb

Copy stable/11@r303970 to releng/11.0 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE
cycle.

Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, and rename it to RC1.

Update __FreeBSD_version.

Use the quarterly branch for the default FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) repo and
the dvd1.iso packages population.

Overview

Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in better managing
the depth of bottleneck queues in routers, switches and other places
that get congested. Solutions include transport protocol enhancements
at the end-hosts (such as delay-based or hybrid congestion control
schemes) and active queue management (AQM) schemes applied within
bottleneck queues.

The notion of AQM has been around since at least the late 1990s
(e.g. RFC 2309). In recent years the proliferation of oversized
buffers in all sorts of network devices (aka bufferbloat) has
stimulated keen community interest in four new AQM schemes -- CoDel,
FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE.

The IETF AQM working group is looking to document these schemes,
and independent implementations are a corner-stone of the IETF's
process for confirming the clarity of publicly available protocol
descriptions. While significant development work on all three schemes
has occured in the Linux kernel, there is very little in FreeBSD.

Project Goals

This project began in late 2015, and aims to design and implement
functionally-correct versions of CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ_PIE
in FreeBSD (with code BSD-licensed as much as practical). We have
chosen to do this as extensions to FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet firewall
and traffic shaper. Implementation of these AQM schemes in FreeBSD
will:
* Demonstrate whether the publicly available documentation is
sufficient to enable independent, functionally equivalent implementations

* Provide a broader suite of AQM options for sections the networking
community that rely on FreeBSD platforms

Program Members:

* Rasool Al Saadi (developer)

* Grenville Armitage (project lead)

# 294881 27-Jan-2016 luigi

the _Static_assert was not supposed to be in the commit.


# 294879 27-Jan-2016 luigi

bugfix: the scheduler template (dn_schk) for the round robin scheduler
is followed by another structure (rr_schk) whose size must be set
in the schk_datalen field of the descriptor.
Not allocating the memory may cause other memory to be overwritten
(though dn_schk is 192 bytes and rr_schk only 12 so we may be lucky
and end up in the padding after the dn_schk).

This is a merge candidate for stable and 10.3

prevent warnings for signed/unsigned comparisons and unused arguments.
Add checks for parameters overflowing 32 bit.


# 240494 14-Sep-2012 glebius

o Create directory sys/netpfil, where all packet filters should
reside, and move there ipfw(4) and pf(4).

o Move most modified parts of pf out of contrib.

Actual movements:

sys/contrib/pf/net/*.c -> sys/netpfil/pf/
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.h -> sys/net/
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.c -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.h -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/pfctl.8 -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.4 -> share/man/man4
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.5 -> share/man/man5

sys/netinet/ipfw -> sys/netpfil/ipfw

The arguable movement is pf/net/*.h -> sys/net. There are
future plans to refactor pf includes, so I decided not to
break things twice.

Not modified bits of pf left in contrib: authpf, ftp-proxy,
tftp-proxy, pflogd.

The ipfw(4) movement is planned to be merged to stable/9,
to make head and stable match.

Discussed with: bz, luigi


# 206845 19-Apr-2010 luigi

whitespace fixes (trailing whitespace, bad indentation
after a merge, etc.)


# 204591 02-Mar-2010 luigi

Bring in the most recent version of ipfw and dummynet, developed
and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This
also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Windows
ports of ipfw and dummynet.

The major enhancement is a completely restructured version of
dummynet, with support for different packet scheduling algorithms
(loadable at runtime), faster queue/pipe lookup, and a much cleaner
internal architecture and kernel/userland ABI which simplifies
future extensions.

In addition to the existing schedulers (FIFO and WF2Q+), we include
a Deficit Round Robin (DRR or RR for brevity) scheduler, and a new,
very fast version of WF2Q+ called QFQ.

Some test code is also present (in sys/netinet/ipfw/test) that
lets you build and test schedulers in userland.

Also, we have added a compatibility layer that understands requests
from the RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 versions of the /sbin/ipfw binaries,
and replies correctly (at least, it does its best; sometimes you
just cannot tell who sent the request and how to answer).
The compatibility layer should make it possible to MFC this code in a
relatively short time.

Some minor glitches (e.g. handling of ipfw set enable/disable,
and a workaround for a bug in RELENG_7's /sbin/ipfw) will be
fixed with separate commits.

CREDITS:
This work has been partly supported by the ONELAB2 project, and
mostly developed by Riccardo Panicucci and myself.
The code for the qfq scheduler is mostly from Fabio Checconi,
and Marta Carbone and Francesco Magno have helped with testing,
debugging and some bug fixes.
