Slotting is a crude approximation of the behaviors of shared media such
as cable, wifi, and LTE, which gather up a bunch of packets within a
varying delay window and deliver them, relative to that, nearly all at
once.
It works within the existing loss, duplication, jitter and delay
parameters of netem. Some amount of inherent latency must be specified,
regardless.
The new "slot" parameter specifies a minimum and maximum delay between
transmission attempts.
The "bytes" and "packets" parameters can be used to limit the amount of
information transferred per slot.
Examples of use:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 200us \
slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42
A more correct example, using stacked netem instances and a packet limit
to emulate a tail drop wifi queue with slots and variable packet
delivery, with a 200Mbit isochronous underlying rate, and 20ms path
delay:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 20ms rate 200mbit \
limit 10000
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10:1 netem delay 200us \
slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 limit 512

sch_skbprio is a qdisc that prioritizes packets according to their skb->priority
field. Under congestion, it drops already-enqueued lower priority packets to
make space available for higher priority packets. Skbprio was conceived as a
solution for denial-of-service defenses that need to route packets with
different priorities as a means to overcome DoS attacks.

sch_cake is intended to squeeze the most bandwidth and latency out of even
the slowest ISP links and routers, while presenting an API simple enough
that even an ISP can configure it.
Example of use on a cable ISP uplink:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 cake bandwidth 20Mbit nat docsis ack-filter
To shape a cable download link (ifb and tc-mirred setup elided)
tc qdisc add dev ifb0 cake bandwidth 200mbit nat docsis ingress wash besteffort
Cake is filled with:
* A hybrid Codel/Blue AQM algorithm, "Cobalt", tied to an FQ_Codel
derived Flow Queuing system, which autoconfigures based on the bandwidth.
* A novel "triple-isolate" mode (the default) which balances per-host
and per-flow FQ even through NAT.
* An deficit based shaper, that can also be used in an unlimited mode.
* 8 way set associative hashing to reduce flow collisions to a minimum.
* A reasonable interpretation of various diffserv latency/loss tradeoffs.
* Support for zeroing diffserv markings for entering and exiting traffic.
* Support for interacting well with Docsis 3.0 shaper framing.
* Support for DSL framing types and shapers.
* Support for ack filtering.
* Extensive statistics for measuring, loss, ecn markings, latency variation.
Various versions baking have been available as an out of tree build for
kernel versions going back to 3.10, as the embedded router world has been
running a few years behind mainline Linux. A stable version has been
generally available on lede-17.01 and later.
sch_cake replaces a combination of iptables, tc filter, htb and fq_codel
in the sqm-scripts, with sane defaults and vastly simpler configuration.
Cake's principal author is Jonathan Morton, with contributions from
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant, Toke Høiland-Jørgensen, Sebastian Moeller,
Ryan Mounce, Tony Ambardar, Dean Scarff, Nils Andreas Svee, Dave Täht,
and Loganaden Velvindron.

Devlink region allows access to driver defined address regions.
Each device can create its supported address regions and register
them. A device which exposes a region will allow access to it
using devlink.
This support allows reading and dumping regions snapshots as well
as presenting information such as region size and current available
snapshots.
A snapshot represents a memory image of a region taken by the driver.
If a device collects a snapshot of an address region it can be later
exposed using devlink region read or dump commands.
This functionality allows for future analyses on the snapshots.
The dump command is designed to read the full address space of a
region or of a snapshot unlike the read command which allows
reading only a specific section in a region/snapshot indicated by
an address and a length, current support is for reading and dumping
for a previously taken snapshot ID.
New commands added:
devlink region show [ DEV/REGION ]
devlink region delete DEV/REGION snapshot SNAPSHOT_ID
devlink region dump DEV/REGION [ snapshot SNAPSHOT_ID ]
devlink region read DEV/REGION [ snapshot SNAPSHOT_ID ]

Users have reported a regression due to ip now dropping capabilities
unconditionally.
zerotier-one VPN and VirtualBox use ambient capabilities in their
binary and then fork out to ip to set routes and links, and this
does not work anymore.
As a workaround, do not drop caps if CAP_NET_ADMIN (the most common
capability used by ip) is set with the INHERITABLE flag.
Users that want ip vrf exec to work do not need to set INHERITABLE,
which will then only set when the calling program had privileges to
give itself the ambient capability.

This allows early classification as well as mirroning/redirecting traffic
based on logic implemented in netfilter extensions.
Current supported use case is classification based on the incoming IPSec
state used during decpsulation using the 'policy' iptables extension
(xt_policy).
The matcher uses libxtables for parsing the input parameters.
Example use for matching an IPSec state with reqid 1:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
basic match 'ipt(-m policy --dir in --pol ipsec --reqid 1)' \

For IP-in-IP tunnels, one can specify the [no]allow-localremote command
when configuring a device. Under the hood, this flips the
IP6_TNL_F_ALLOW_LOCAL_REMOTE flag on the netdevice. However, ip6gretap
and ip6erspan devices, where the flag is also relevant, are not IP-in-IP
tunnels, and thus there's no way to configure the flag on these
netdevices. Therefore introduce the command to link_gre6 as well.

If the kernel receives a negative nsid it will automatically assign
the next available nsid. In this case alloc_netid() will set min and
max to 0 for ird_alloc(). And when max == 0 idr_alloc() will interpret
this as the maximum range, i.e. specific to nsids it will try to find
an id in the range [0,INT_MAX). This is intentionally supported in the
kernel for nsids.
Commit acbe9118ce ("ip netns: use strtol() instead of atoi()")
regressed ip netns in that respect although previously the use-case
was either accidentally supported or opaquely supported such that it
triggered the original commit. From what I can gather it went as
follows before: atoi() was called with a string indicating a negative
value which caused it to return -1 which was passed to the
kernel. Let's make it less opaque by introducing the keyword "auto":
ip netns set <netns-name> auto
will cause nsid to be set to -1 and the kernel will select an available
nsid.

A Debian user suggested adding more network-related keywords to the
ip manpage, so that manpage-scraping and indexing software like
apropos can do a better job of categorizing the programs.

Documentation should be distribution-agnostic - any specific quirks
should be handled by downstream maintainers, if necessary.
Remove mentions of Debian paths and package names.

The patch adds support for configuring the erspan v2, for both
ipv4 and ipv6 erspan implementation. Three additional fields
are added: 'erspan_ver' for distinguishing v1 or v2, 'erspan_dir'
for specifying direction of the mirrored traffic, and 'erspan_hwid'
for users to set ERSPAN engine ID within a system.
As for manpage, the ERSPAN descriptions used to be under GRE, IPIP,
SIT Type paragraph. Since IP6GRE/IP6GRETAP also supports ERSPAN,
the patch removes the old one, creates a separate ERSPAN paragrah,
and adds an example.

veth and vxcan both create a vitual tunnel between a pair of virtual network
devices. This patch adds the content for the now supported vxcan netdevices
and the documentation to create peer devices for vxcan and veth.
Additional remove 'can' that accidently was on the list of link types which
can be created by 'ip link add' as 'can' devices are real network devices.

v3:
Rebase and use out() instead of printf().
v2:
Print the path MTU immediately after the MSS, as it is easier to parse
for humans (suggested by Neal Cardwell).

The patch adds 'external' option to support collect metadata
gre6 tunnel. The 'external' keyword is already used to set the
device into collect metadata mode such as vxlan, geneve, ipip,
etc. This patch extends support for ipv6 gre and gretap.
Example of L3 and L2 gre device:
bash:~# ip link add dev ip6gre123 type ip6gre external
bash:~# ip link add dev ip6gretap123 type ip6gretap external

This allows sending GSO maximum values when configuring a device.
The values are advisory. Most devices will ignore them but for some
pseudo devices such as veth pairs they can be set.
Example:
# ip link add dev vm1 type veth peer name vm2 gso_max_size 32768

This patch adapts the tc command line interface to allow bandwidth limits
to be specified as a percentage of the interface's capacity.
Adding this functionality requires passing the specified device string to
each class/qdisc which changes the prototype for a couple of functions: the
.parse_qopt and .parse_copt interfaces. The device string is a required
parameter for tc-qdisc and tc-class, and when not specified, the kernel
returns ENODEV. In this patch, if the user tries to specify a bandwidth
percentage without naming the device, we return an error from userspace.

In order to calculate the idleSlope parameter of CBS correctly, users
must take into account the entire packet size, including the overhead
from all layers.
Add some more details to the man page to clarify that, giving one
simple example and pointing users to the correct 802.1Q section for
further clarifications if needed.
