RE: Custom Queueing and packet size

Thanks for the reply. Since the max packet size in [%qn*10*max] only
changes delay, not bandwidth allocation, I guess the packet sizes for
various queue in CQ does not need to be considered if delay is not an
issue?

thanks

Hi.

For CQ in terms of packet sizes it seems to be enough understanding what

the maximum packet size is.

As per your example, assume that "the rest" is 1500 byte

pkt_size 1500 600 1500
%q 20%=0.2 etc 0.2 0.4 0.4
ratio max_pkt/pkt 1 2,5 1
norm [%q*ratio*10] 2 10 4
byte_count ptk_s*norm 3000 6000 6000
check byte_c/summ 3/15 6/15 6/15
                                     0.2 0.4 0.4

It matches your ratio pretty much. Ratio 1500 3000 3000 differs in delay

only, meaning that packets in Q1 (the one with 1500) will wait
serialization time for 3000+3000 bytes (Q2+Q3). In my case Q1 would wait

serialization time for 6000+6000 bytes before getting served again.

But it is just a part of the fun. :-)

Let's have "the rest" as z in calculations above.

pkt_size 1500 600 z
%q 20%=0.2 etc 0.2 0.4 0.4
ratio max_pkt/pkt 1 2,5 1500/z
norm [%q*ratio*10] 2 10 6000/z
byte_count ptk_s*norm 3000 6000 z*(6000/z)=6000 !
check byte_c/summ 3/15 6/15 6/15
                                     0.2 0.4 0.4

Getting into more abstract, assume we have x,y,z for packet sizes.
max = maximum{x,y,z}

pkt_size x y z
%q 20%=0.2 etc 0.2 0.4 0.4
ratio max_pkt/pkt max/x max/y max/z
norm [%q*ratio*10] 2*(max/x) 4*(max/y) 4*(max/z)
byte_count ptk_s*norm x*2*(max/x) y*4*(max/y) z*4*(max/z)
                                     2*max 4*max 4*max
check byte_c/summ x/10max y/10max z/10max

So, byte count for Qn is [%qn*10*max]

[] is round-up to the nearest integer.

Much easier than classic books offer. :-)
