From f9ffcedddba5b2fc5ab16ef08bca55af8be2717e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:38:33 -0700 Subject: pkt_sched: HTB scheduler, change default hysteresis mode to off. The HTB hysteresis mode reduce the CPU load, but at the cost of scheduling accuracy. On ADSL links (512 kbit/s upstream), this inaccuracy introduce significant jitter, enought to disturbe VoIP. For details see my masters thesis (http://www.adsl-optimizer.dk/thesis/), chapter 7, section 7.3.1, pp 69-70. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Acked-by: Martin Devera Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a htb_hysteresis parameter to htb_sch.ko and by sysfs magic make it runtime adjustable via /sys/module/sch_htb/parameters/htb_hysteresis mode 640.
