Detailed Description

RTE Hierarchical Scheduler

The hierarchical scheduler prioritizes the transmission of packets from different users and traffic classes according to the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) defined for the current network node.

The scheduler supports thousands of packet queues grouped under a 5-level hierarchy:

1.
Port:
•
Typical usage: output Ethernet port;
•
Multiple ports are scheduled in round robin order with equal priority;
2.
Subport:
•
Typical usage: group of users;
•
Traffic shaping using the token bucket algorithm (one bucket per subport);
•
Upper limit enforced per traffic class at subport level;
•
Lower priority traffic classes able to reuse subport bandwidth currently unused by higher priority traffic classes of the same subport;
•
When any subport traffic class is oversubscribed (configuration time event), the usage of subport member pipes with high demand for that traffic class pipes is truncated to a dynamically adjusted value with no impact to low demand pipes;
3.
Pipe:
•
Typical usage: individual user/subscriber;
•
Traffic shaping using the token bucket algorithm (one bucket per pipe);
4.
Traffic class:
•
Traffic classes of the same pipe handled in strict priority order;
•
Upper limit enforced per traffic class at the pipe level;
•
Lower priority traffic classes able to reuse pipe bandwidth currently unused by higher priority traffic classes of the same pipe;
5.
Queue:
•
Typical usage: queue hosting packets from one or multiple connections of same traffic class belonging to the same user;
•
Weighted Round Robin (WRR) is used to service the queues within same pipe lowest priority traffic class (best-effort).

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum rte_sched_cman_mode

Congestion Management (CMAN) mode

This is used for controlling the admission of packets into a packet queue or group of packet queues on congestion.

The Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm works by proactively dropping more and more input packets as the queue occupancy builds up. When the queue is full or almost full, RED effectively works as tail drop. The Weighted RED algorithm uses a separate set of RED thresholds for each packet color.

Similar to RED, Proportional Integral Controller Enhanced (PIE) randomly drops a packet at the onset of the congestion and tries to control the latency around the target value. The congestion detection, however, is based on the queueing latency instead of the queue length like RED. For more information, refer RFC8033.

Scheduler hierarchy path read from packet descriptor (struct rte_mbuf). Typically called as part of the hierarchical scheduler enqueue operation. The subport, pipe, traffic class and queue parameters need to be pre-allocated by the caller.

pkt Packet descriptor handle
subport Subport ID
pipe Pipe ID within subport
traffic_class Traffic class ID within pipe (0 .. RTE_SCHED_TRAFFIC_CLASS_BE)

int rte_sched_port_enqueue (struct rte_sched_port * port, struct rte_mbuf ** pkts, uint32_t n_pkts)

Hierarchical scheduler port enqueue. Writes up to n_pkts to port scheduler and returns the number of packets actually written. For each packet, the port scheduler queue to write the packet to is identified by reading the hierarchy path from the packet descriptor; if the queue is full or congested and the packet is not written to the queue, then the packet is automatically dropped without any action required from the caller.

Parameters:

port Handle to port scheduler instance
pkts Array storing the packet descriptor handles
n_pkts Number of packets to enqueue from the pkts array into the port scheduler

Returns:

Number of packets successfully enqueued

Hierarchical scheduler port dequeue. Reads up to n_pkts from the port scheduler and stores them in the pkts array and returns the number of packets actually read. The pkts array needs to be pre-allocated by the caller with at least n_pkts entries.

Parameters:

port Handle to port scheduler instance
pkts Pre-allocated packet descriptor array where the packets dequeued from the port scheduler should be stored
n_pkts Number of packets to dequeue from the port scheduler

Returns:

Number of packets successfully dequeued and placed in the pkts array

int rte_sched_subport_tc_ov_config (struct rte_sched_port * port, uint32_t subport_id, bool tc_ov_enable)

Hierarchical scheduler subport traffic class oversubscription enable/disable. This function should be called at the time of subport initialization.
