How useful will the new dummynet AQMs be to ALTQ users?
-
FreeBSD will soon have codel, PIE, fq_codel, and fq_pie implemented in dummynet.
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2015-September/043442.htmlMany are interested in fq_codel, but I fear it may be of limited usefulness to us in dummynet. Most that I have read says dummynet & ALTQ do not mix well.
Any information/links/papers about how useful these dummynet AQMs will be to ALTQ users would be very appreciated.
fq_codel in dummynet should be exactly what we need for the newbie pfSense user though. Bufferbloat solved with minimal configuration with no worry about queues or assigning traffic. :D
